Finite fields are well-studied algebraic structures with enormous efficient properties which have applications in the fields of cryptology and coding theory. In this study, we proposed a lossless binary Galois field extension-based efficient algorithm for digital audio encryption. The proposed architecture hired a special type of curve in the diffusion module which depends on efficient elliptic curve arithmetic operations. So, it generates good quality pseudo-random numbers (PRN) and with slight computational efforts, it produces optimum diffusion in the encrypted audio files. For the confusion module, a novel construction mechanism of block cipher has been employed which includes prominent arithmetic operations of binary Galois field inversion and multiplication operations. The suggested scheme generates multiple substitution boxes (S-boxes) by using a higher-order Galois field. Thus, the replacement with multiple S-boxes generates effective perplexity in the data and provides additional security to the ciphered audio. The investigational outcomes through different analyses and time complexity demonstrated the ability of the technique to counter various attacks. Furthermore, as a consequence of a rapid and simple application of the binary finite field in hardware and software, the proposed scheme is more appropriate to be applied for data security.
