Microcontroller-Based Data Protection Method Using Perfect Binary Arrays

This paper offers a new microcontroller-based data protection approach employing perfect binary arrays, specifically a special class of binary arrays comprising properties that make them appropriate for application in cryptography. The recommended method employs a synchronized random sequence to produce perfect binary arrays and undertake encryption using two distinctive methods to create the reference classes. The security of the method lies in the challenge associated with locating the reference perfect binary array and the substantial number of current perfect binary arrays. The paper evaluates the security of the method and confirms that it offers an increased level of security against numerous types of attacks, for instance brute-force attacks and attacks founded upon algebraic and computational complexity. Concerning existing cryptographic and data protection methods, the suggested technique has several benefits. These benefits are a greater degree of randomness, together with fast and straightforward encryption and decryption speeds which permit use on low-power systems, for example embedded and microcontrollers which facilitate the connection with different types of devices including IoT and provide a secure path to exchange data. The paper concludes by discussing several potential applications of the proposed approach.
