Popis: This study introduces a novel and refined approach for generating exceptionally efficient S-boxes. The proposed methodology employs a hybrid approach that combines linear fractional transformation (LFT) with a multilayer perceptron (MLP) architecture. This method makes use of a perceptron with three layers: input, hidden, and output. Each layer's neuron count is fine-tuned to conform to the S-box layout. In addition, a threshold nonlinear transformation is utilized to increase nonlinearity, and a novel algorithm for boosting nonlinearity is introduced. The utilization of both LFT and MLP approaches has led to the development of S-boxes that possess nearly ideal average nonlinearity values, surpassing those that have been presented in literature. Notably, one S-box achieved an exceptional nonlinearity score of 114.50. Furthermore, to demonstrate how well the S-box works, this study also employs it in an image encryption application.
