Two basic requirements must be met to encrypt data. These requirements are confusion and diffusion properties. In particular, block cipher algorithms are based on a cryptographic component known as substitution-box to provide the need for confusion. Therefore, attack scenarios generally focus on this cryptographic component. There are alternative design approaches for substitution-box design. It is known that each design approach has several advantages and disadvantages. In this study, an alternative method is proposed to address the problems of the substitution-box design approach based on random selection. The success of the proposed method has been tested in three different scenarios. Analysis results for these three scenarios showed that generated substitution-box provides performance increase for nonlinearity criterion from s-box design criteria. Successful results achieved; It points out that improvement cryptographic components can be used in a variety of practical applications such as block ciphers, masks to prevent side-channel attacks, random number generators, and image encryption algorithms.
