A Web-Based Platform for the Analysis, Visualization, and Comparison of Cryptographic S-Boxes

Öz

Cryptographic S-Boxes are among the fundamental components that determine the security level of many encryption algorithms. Therefore, S-Box analysis should not be limited to calculating only a few numerical values. In this study, a web-based software platform has been developed for the analysis, visualization, and comparison of S-Box structures. The platform calculates commonly used cryptographic criteria such as nonlinearity, differential uniformity, strict avalanche criterion (SAC), and bit independence criterion (BIC). It also provides SAC dependency matrices and BIC-based correlation representations to examine structural relationships that may be difficult to understand with only tabular values. The software also includes a separate module for generating random S-Boxes. Instead of directly providing a single random permutation to the user, this module generates multiple candidates. The candidates are evaluated, and the structure with stronger cryptographic properties is selected. Different S-Boxes can also be examined side-by-side on the same interface. Experimental results show that the proposed platform produces accurate and consistent analysis outputs. With these features, the platform offers a useful support tool for both academic studies and applied cryptographic design processes.
