Original Kurzfassung:
Permutations are a core component of almost every cipher. No matter if we
consider the DES [5], AES [2] or most of the other encryption algorithms [6]
relevant nowadays, we always find permutation operators as essential building
blocks inside. In this contribution we will introduce key-dependent permutation
operators of provably excellent quality inspired by chaotic Kolmogorov flows [1,
4]. From chaotic systems theory it is known [3] that the class of Kolmogorov flows
exhibits the highest degree of instability among all dynamical systems. As will
be demonstrated in the sequel, these outstanding properties make them a perfect
inspiration for developing a novel class of strong cryptographic permutation
operators.
