A color image encryption scheme based on a 2D coupled chaotic system and diagonal scrambling algorithm

A novel color image encryption scheme is developed to enhance the security of encryption without increasing the complexity. Firstly, the plain color image is decomposed into three grayscale plain images, which are converted into the frequency domain coefficient matrices(FDCM) with discrete cosine transform(DCT) operation. After that, a twodimensional(2D) coupled chaotic system is developed and used to generate one group of embedded matrices and another group of encryption matrices, respectively. The embedded matrices are integrated with the FDCM to fulfill the frequency domain encryption, and then the inverse DCT processing is implemented to recover the spatial domain signal. Eventually,under the function of the encryption matrices and the proposed diagonal scrambling algorithm, the final color ciphertext is obtained. The experimental results show that the proposed method can not only ensure efficient encryption but also satisfy various sizes of image encryption. Besides, it has better performance than other similar techniques in statistical feature analysis, such as key space, key sensitivity, anti-differential attack, information entropy, noise attack, etc.

A Color Image Encryption Scheme Based on Singular Values and Chaos

The security of digital images transmitted via the Internet or other public media is of the utmost importance.Image encryption is a method of keeping an image secure while it travels across a non-secure communication medium where it could be intercepted by unauthorized entities.This study provides an approach to color image encryption that could find practical use in various contexts.The proposed method,which combines four chaotic systems,employs singular value decomposition and a chaotic sequence,making it both secure and compression-friendly.The unified average change intensity,the number of pixels’change rate,information entropy analysis,correlation coefficient analysis,compression friendliness,and security against brute force,statistical analysis and differential attacks are all used to evaluate the algorithm’s performance.Following a thorough investigation of the experimental data,it is concluded that the proposed image encryption approach is secure against a wide range of attacks and provides superior compression friendliness when compared to chaos-based alternatives.

A novel color image encryption algorithm based on genetic recombination and the four-dimensional memristive hyperchaotic system

Recently, many image encryption algorithms based on chaos have been proposed. Most of the previous algorithms encrypt components R, G, and B of color images independently and neglect the high correlation between them. In the paper, a novel color image encryption algorithm is introduced. The 24 bit planes of components R, G, and B of the color plain image are obtained and recombined into 4 compound bit planes, and this can make the three components affect each other. A four-dimensional(4D) memristive hyperchaotic system generates the pseudorandom key streams and its initial values come from the SHA 256 hash value of the color plain image. The compound bit planes and key streams are confused according to the principles of genetic recombination, then confusion and diffusion as a union are applied to the bit planes,and the color cipher image is obtained. Experimental results and security analyses demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is secure and effective so that it may be adopted for secure communication.

A novel color image encryption scheme using fractional-order hyperchaotic system and DNA sequence operations

In this paper, Adomian decomposition method （ADM） with high accuracy and fast convergence is introduced to solve the fractional-order piecewise-linear （PWL） hyperchaotic system. Based on the obtained hyperchaotic sequences, a novel color image encryption algorithm is proposed by employing a hybrid model of bidirectional circular permutation and DNA masking. In this scheme, the pixel positions of image are scrambled by circular permutation, and the pixel values are substituted by DNA sequence operations. In the DNA sequence operations, addition and substraction operations are performed according to traditional addition and subtraction in the binary, and two rounds of addition rules are used to encrypt the pixel values. The simulation results and security analysis show that the hyperchaotic map is suitable for image encryption, and the proposed encryption algorithm has good encryption effect and strong key sensitivity. It can resist brute-force attack, statistical attack, differential attack, known-plaintext, and chosen-plaintext attacks.

Non-Associative Algebra Redesigning Block Cipher with Color Image Encryption

The substitution box(S-box)is a fundamentally important component of symmetric key cryptosystem.An S-box is a primary source of non-linearity in modern block ciphers,and it resists the linear attack.Various approaches have been adopted to construct S-boxes.S-boxes are commonly constructed over commutative and associative algebraic structures including Galois fields,unitary commutative rings and cyclic and non-cyclic finite groups.In this paper,first a non-associative ring of order 512 is obtained by using computational techniques,and then by this ring a triplet of 8×8 S-boxes is designed.The motivation behind the designing of these S-boxes is to upsurge the robustness and broaden the key space due to non-associative and noncommutative behavior of the algebraic structure under consideration.A novel color image encryption application is anticipated in which initially these 3 S-boxes are being used to produce confusion in three layers of a standard RGB image.However,for the sake of diffusion 3D Arnold chaotic map is used in the proposed encryption scheme.A comparison with some of existing chaos and S-box dependent color image encryption schemes specs the performance results of the anticipated RGB image encryption and observed as approaching the standard prime level.

An Efficient Color-Image Encryption Method Using DNA Sequence and Chaos Cipher

Nowadays,high-resolution images pose several challenges in the context of image encryption.The encryption of huge images’file sizes requires high computational resources.Traditional encryption techniques like,Data Encryption Standard(DES),and Advanced Encryption Standard(AES)are not only inefficient,but also less secure.Due to characteristics of chaos theory,such as periodicity,sensitivity to initial conditions and control parameters,and unpredictability.Hence,the characteristics of deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA),such as vast parallelism and large storage capacity,make it a promising field.This paper presents an efficient color image encryption method utilizing DNA encoding with two types of hyper-chaotic maps.The proposed encryption method comprises three steps.The first step initializes the conditions for generating Lorenz and Rossler hyper-chaotic maps using a plain image Secure Hash Algorithm(SHA-256/384).The second step performs a confusion procedure by scrambling the three components of the image(red,green,and blue)using Lorenz hyper-chaotic sequences.Finally,the third step combines three approaches to encrypt the scrambled components for diffusion:DNA encoding/decoding,addition operation between components,and XORing with Rossler hyper-chaotic sequences.The simulation results indicate that the suggested encryption algorithm satisfies the requirements of security.The entropy value of confusion and diffusion is 7.997,the key space is 2200,and the correlation coefficient is nearly zero.The efficacy of the proposed method has been verified through numerous evaluations,and the results show its resistance and effectiveness against several attacks,like statistical and brute-force attacks.Finally,the devised algorithm vanquishes other relevant color image encryption algorithms.

A novel color image encryption algorithm based on a fractional-order discrete chaotic neural network and DNA sequence operations

A novel color image encryption algorithm based on dynamic deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA)encoding and chaos is presented.A three-neuron fractional-order discrete Hopfield neural network(FODHNN)is employed as a pseudo-random chaotic sequence generator.Its initial value is obtained with the secret key generated by a fiveparameter external key and a hash code of the plain image.The external key includes both the FODHNN discrete step size and order.The hash is computed with the SHA-2 function.This ensures a large secret key space and improves the algorithm sensitivity to the plain image.Furthermore,a new three-dimensional projection confusion method is proposed to scramble the pixels among red,green,and blue color components.DNA encoding and diffusion are used to diffuse the image information.Pseudo-random sequences generated by FODHNN are employed to determine the encoding rules for each pixel and to ensure the diversity of the encoding methods.Finally,confusion II and XOR are used to ensure the security of the encryption.Experimental results and the security analysis show that the proposed algorithm has better performance than those reported in the literature and can resist typical attacks.

In this paper, a new image encryption scheme is presented based on time-delay chaos synchronization. Compared with existing methods, a new method is pro- posed and a lot of coupled items can be taken as zero items to simplify the whole system. A simple linear controller is introduced to realize time-delay chaos synchronization and image encryption. The positions of the image pixels are firstly shuffled and then be hidden in the cartier image. The address codes of the chaotic sequences are adopted to avoid the disturbances induced by the initial value and computer accuracy error. Simulation results for color image are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. It can be seen clearly that the system can converge quickly and the image can be encrypted rapidly.
