A close study about the varied anatomies of the S-Box algorithms published in the literature indicates that no attempt has been made using the notion of 3D. To cement the more cryptographic security, this research article ventures to present a novel S-Box algorithm exploiting the notion of 3D. First of all, the algorithm initializes a 3D scrambled S-Box with the value of -1.

A wide range of mathematical constructs, theories, and algorithms have been leveraged by cryptographers to secure valuable and sensitive digital images. Among these, image encryption based on scrambling algorithms has been extensively utilized. These scrambling techniques operate on 1D, 2D, and 3D constructs, relying on pixel-level swapping to enhance security.

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.
