| description | Abstract In the contemporary landscape of smart cities, ensuring the security and confidentiality of transmitted data has become paramount. The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, mobile communication platforms, and wireless sensor networks has magnified the need for robust cryptographic solutions to safeguard sensitive information from malicious adversaries. In response to these challenges, we introduce ChessCrypt—a novel approach to enhancing wireless communication security through the development of a new S-Box algorithm inspired by the nonlinear movement patterns of chess pieces. ChessCrypt leverages the dynamic and unpredictable nature of chess piece movements, namely knights, kings, and bishops, to introduce a high degree of nonlinearity and confusion into the encryption process. By incorporating elements of randomness and unpredictability, our proposed S-Box algorithm offers robust protection against a wide range of cyber threats, including eavesdropping, data interception, and cryptographic attacks. We demonstrate the effectiveness and resilience of ChessCrypt through rigorous testing and analysis, showcasing its superiority over traditional cryptographic methods in enhancing the security of wireless communication networks. Our results underscore the significance of ChessCrypt as a promising solution for fortifying wireless communication security in an increasingly interconnected world of ours. |
