Abstract

Lightweight ciphers have been developed to meet the rising need for secure communication in environments with limited resources. These ciphers provide robust encryption while ensuring efficient computation. Our paper introduces a new enhanced PRESENT lightweight cipher that utilizes chaotic systems to enhance its robustness and randomness while retaining the simplicity and compactness of the original cipher. By integrating chaotic maps into the cipher's core components, we improve its resistance against advanced cryptanalysis, such as differential, Salt and Peppers Noise (SPN), and loss data attacks. We also optimize the design for computational efficiency, making it suitable for deployment in devices with limited resources. Through extensive simulations and comparative analyses, we demonstrate the superiority of our enhanced cipher in terms of security and efficiency compared to other state-of-the-art lightweight ciphers. Our research contributes to the advancement of lightweight cryptography and provides a promising solution for secure communication in resource-constrained environments.
