LBlock-s key schedule algorithm is a modified version of LBlock key schedule algorithm that has been claimed to have better diffusion properties. Using correlation test based on Niaz method we conclude that LBlock-s’ key schedule algorithm produced high correlation keys. In other words, their randomness properties are not good enough. In this paper, we improved LBlock-s key schedule algorithm to enhance its randomness properties against high correlation keys. The result show that our improve algorithm has produced lower correlation keys than LBlock-s in subkeys level, bytes level as well as bit level. On the other hand, our comparation of execution time of both key schedule algorithm shows that even our improved key schedule algorithm is more complex than LBlock, but their execution time has not significant gap.
