Secure and Efficient Block Cipher Mode Design for Parallel Processing and Reliable Security
Open accessAbstract
Communication is defined as the process of transferring data and exchanging information between interconnected systems. Due to the increasing reliance on digital infrastructures by the military, financial, and healthcare sectors, it is important to ensure the confidential, authentication, and tamper-proof nature of communications. In addition, the increasing need for secure communications in the fields of network security and cryptography have led to the development of numerous systems. The basic requirement of these systems is that under the same key, identical plaintexts do not result in identical ciphertexts. The most significant contribution to this requirement has came from block cipher modes. There are many traditional modes of operation such as the Electronic Code Book (ECB) compromises between simplicity and security. Probabilistic Modes such as the Cipher Block Chaining Mode (CBC) provide a method to randomize data so that the potential for pattern analysis is eliminated, while Deterministic Modes such as ECB enable potential access to the patterns within the plaintexts. Conversely, since the randomization is in the Probabilistic Mode, there is no access to the patterns; however, the sequentiality of the blocks creates dependence and increases the computing overhead. To address these issues, a novel block cipher mode that provides the highest level of security and the most effective method for performing encryption and decryption will be proposed in this paper. It is anticipated that the improved security features and efficient encryption and decryption procedures will significantly improve confidentiality. The methods proposed will utilize compact key structures, parallel processing, a header generation based on multiple random values, and a Key-derived S Box. The experimental results show that SEBCM is more effective than CBC with respect to speed in both encryption and decryption.

In CBC mode, chaining propagates local changes of plaintext pixels in each block to wipe out spatial correlation, and stronger diffusion is measured as NPCR/UACI values.
“in this case, the propagation of the chaining of local changes of plaintext pixels in each block will wipe out the spatial correlation, and the stronger diffusion will be measured in this case as NPCR/UACI values [58,59].”
From A hybrid encryption algorithm based on AES and Kyber for secure image protection in the post-quantum era (2026) · cites this paper as [58]
Section 2.2, Traditional Modes (page unavailable), says CBC chains blocks through the previous ciphertext block. Section 5.1, Empirical Randomness and Diffusion Analysis (page unavailable), reports that CBC-encrypted images hide visible patterns. Our copy does not establish that local plaintext-pixel changes propagate to wipe out spatial correlation, or that CBC diffusion is measured by NPCR/UACI values. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
