The designed S-Box is rigorously evaluated across multiple criteria, demonstrating its superiority over comparable S-Box designs found in existing literature. Furthermore, a secure image encryption method based on the designed S-Boxes devised and also including a 2D hyperchaotic Styblinski–Tang map. Thorough security assessments, encompassing statistical analysis and resilience testing against diverse attacks and noise, it is validated the encryption technique’s efficiency and applicability across varied scenarios.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCrossoverMutationReal-coded geneticsS-boxImage encryptionDeveloping a secure image encryption technique using a novel S-box constructed through real-coded genetic algorithm’s crossover and mutation operatorsArticle10.1016/j.eswa.2024.124904Q1WOS:0012873395000012-s2.0-85199945918N/A
