Abstract: Although block ciphers are widely used and are quite secure, there are still many types of attacks against components of block ciphers, and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher is no exception. To improve the security of AES, there have been many studies in the literature on methods of making this block cipher dynamic. There have been many works focused on the methods of making dynamic at the S-box and the MixColumn transformation of AES. In this paper, we propose a method to make dynamic at the Addroundkey transformation of AES using new key dependent XOR tables. We also propose a procedure to evaluate the randomness of the output of a block cipher and apply this procedure to evaluate the randomness of the modified AES block cipher using new XOR tables. The proposed dynamic method based on new XOR tables can help improve the security of the AES block cipher against many of today's strong attacks on block ciphers.
