Abstract

The rapid growth of internet accessibility requires strong data security measures, mainly for safeguarding sensitive information. Since many threats and attacks steal our private data. Data encryption standard (DES) is one of the cryptographic methods that uses a symmetric key encryption method to resist various types of cryptographic attacks. This work proposes an improved key scheduling algorithm (KSA) to enhance DES security. The modified KSA is evaluated using criteria such as frequency test, hamming weight, and bit difference to measure round key randomness and resilience. Moreover, the avalanche effect is evaluated to assess the diffusion and confusion character of the generated ciphertext. The final result indicates that the enhanced KSA attains better frequency distribution (0.89-1.0), increased hamming weight consistency (97.13%), and high bit transition rates compared to the original DES KSA. These enhancements demonstrate increased randomness and complexity, making the algorithm more resistant to brute-force and other cryptographic attacks. Our proposed work shows enhanced security capabilities, albeit with increased computational requirements, and establishes a foundation for future improvement in symmetric key cryptography.
