Literature survey on nonlinear components and chaotic nonlinear components of block ciphers

In the modern era of secure communication, it is important to create uncertainty in the original data in order to avoid unauthorized entities to extract or manipulate information. From simple methods such as permutations of original data to different mapping algorithms, the security of the ciphers rely on the substitution process. There are many types of components proposed in literature that are evolved by different methodologies and ideas. The prevailing ciphers use substitution boxes (S-boxes) to do this transformation process. In this work, we present a literature review of the design, construction, and analysis of the S-boxes used in block ciphers.
