Color image encryption by using Arnold transform and color-blend operation in discrete cosine transform domains

A color image encryption algorithm is designed by use of Arnold transform and discrete cosine transform (DCT). The RGB components of the color image are scrambled by Arnold transform at the aspect of pixel sequence. The scrambled RGB components are exchanged and mixed randomly under the control of a matrix defined by random angle. DCT is employed for changing the pixel values of color image. In this encryption scheme the operations mentioned above are performed twice continuously. The parameters of Arnold transform and the random angle serve as the key of the color image encryption method. Some numerical simulations are made to test the validity and capability of the color encryption algorithm.

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.     

A self-cited pixel summation based image encryption algorithm

In this paper, a novel image encryption algorithm is presented based on self-cited pixel summation. With the classical mechanism of permutation plus diffusion, a pixel summation of the plain image is employed to make a gravity influence on the pixel positions in the permutation stage. Then, for each pixel in every step of the diffusion stage, the pixel summation calculated from the permuted image is updated. The values from a chaotic sequence generated by an intertwining logistic map are selected by this summation. Consequently, the keystreams generated in both stages are dependent on both the plain image and the permuted image. Because of the sensitivity of the chaotic map to its initial conditions and the plain-image-dependent keystreams, any tiny change in the secret key or the plain image would lead to a significantly different cipher image. As a result, the proposed encryption algorithm is immune to the known plaintext attack (KPA) and the chosen plaintext attack (CPA). Moreover, experimental simulations and security analyses show that the proposed permutation-diffusion encryption scheme can achieve a satisfactory level of security.

One of the two original images is encoded into the phase function of a synthesized input signal after being scrambled, and the other original image encoded into its amplitude. The phase function serves as phase mask in the input domain, and the synthesized input signal is then encrypted into stationary white noise by utilizing random phase encoding in fractional Fourier domain. The two original images can be retrieved without cross-talk by using the correct keys with fractional orders, the random phase mask and the pixel scrambling operator. Numerical simulations and security analysis have been done to prove the validity and the security of the proposed encryption method.

A novel method for double image encryption is proposed by using linear blend operation and double-random phase encoding (DRPE) in the fractional Fourier domain. In the linear blend operation, a random orthogonal matrix is defined to linearly recombined pixel values of two original images. The resultant blended images are employed to constitute a complex-valued image, which is encrypted into an encrypted image with stationary white distribution by the DRPE in the fractional Fourier domain. The primitive images can be exactly recovered by applying correct keys with fractional orders, random phase masks and random angle function that is used in linear blend operation. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme has considerably high security level and certain robustness against data loss and noise disturbance.

Moreover only one set of random phase data is used in image encryption process. Compare to double random phase encoding, the parameter defining local area can be regarded as the additional key to increase the security of the encryption scheme. Some numerical simulations are achieved to demonstrate the performance of the image encryption scheme.

This paper proposes a color image encryption scheme based on Choquet fuzzy integral (CFI) and hyper chaotic system. The major core of the encryption algorithm is a pseudo-random number generator based on the CFI. Before encrypting the color image, the piecewise linear chaotic map (PWLCM) is used to generate the 128-bit secret keys, and the Lorenz system is iterated for limited times to generate the initial parameters of the CFI. The outputs of the CFI are used to confuse and diffuse the three components of the pixel, respectively. Experiment results and security analysis show that the scheme not only can achieve good encryption result and large key space, but also can resist against common attacks, so the scheme is reliable to be adopted for network security and secure communications.

A novel chaos-based image encryption scheme with an efficient permutation-diffusion mechanism

This paper proposes a novel chaos-based image encryption scheme with an efficient permutation-diffusion mechanism, in which permuting the positions of image pixels incorporates with changing the gray values of image pixels to confuse the relationship between cipher-image and plain-image. In the permutation process, a generalized Arnold map is utilized to generate one chaotic orbit used to get two index order sequences for the permutation of image pixel positions; in the diffusion process, a generalized Arnold map and a generalized Bernoulli shift map are employed to yield two pseudo-random gray value sequences for a two-way diffusion of gray values. The yielded gray value sequences are not only sensitive to the control parameters and initial conditions of the considered chaotic maps, but also strongly depend on the plain-image processed, therefore the proposed scheme can resist statistical attack, differential attack, known-plaintext as well as chosen-plaintext attack. Experimental results are carried out with detailed analysis to demonstrate that the proposed image encryption scheme possesses large key space to resist brute-force attack as well.     

基于Q-plate的双图像非对称偏振加密

基于Q-plate提出了一种对两幅图像做非对称偏振加密的新方法.在该方法中,首先,将待加密的两幅图像通过干涉分解成两块纯相位板;其次,将这两块纯相位板分别编码到偏振光的两个正交分量中;最后,利用Q-plate和像素化的偏振片改变这束光的偏振分布,达到对图像的加密效果,用电荷耦合器件接收输出面的强度分布图作为最终的密文.其中一块纯相位板作为解密密钥.算法的解密密钥不同于加密密钥,由此实现了非对称加密.由于Q-plate是电调控的,它的每个像素点的光轴各不相同,所以能够根据描述变面结构空间旋转率的常数q来改变每个像素的偏振态.加密过程中用Q-plate的q值和像素化的偏振片的偏振角度作为加密密钥,这两个加密密钥具有很高的敏感性,极大地提高了算法的安全性.数值模拟结果验证了该方法的可行性和有效性.

Encryption and decryption of images with chaotic map lattices

We propose a secure algorithm for direct encryption and decryption of digital images with chaotic map lattices. The basic idea is to convert, pixel by pixel, the image color to chaotic logistic maps one-way coupled by initial conditions. After small numbers of iterations and cycles, the image becomes indistinguishable due to inherent properties of chaotic systems. Since the maps are coupled, the image can be completely recovered by the decryption algorithm if map parameters, number of iterations, number of cycles, and the image size are exactly known.
