An Image Encryption Algorithm Using Logistic Map with Plaintext-Related Parameter Values

This paper deals with a plaintext-related image encryption algorithm that modifies the parameter values used by the logistic map according to plain image pixel intensities. The parameter values are altered in a row-wise manner, which enables the usage of the same procedure also during the decryption. Furthermore, the parameter modification technique takes into account knowledge about the logistic map, its fixed points and possible periodic cycles. Since the resulting interval of parameter values achieves high positive values of Lyapunov exponents, the chaotic behavior of the logistic map should be most pronounced. These assumptions are verified by a set of experiments and the obtained numerical values are compared with those reported in relevant papers. It is found that the proposed design that uses a simpler, but well-studied, chaotic map with mitigated issues obtains results comparable with algorithms that use more complex chaotic systems. Moreover, the proposed solution is much faster than other approaches with a similar purpose.     

An Image Encryption Algorithm Using Cascade Chaotic Map and S-Box

This paper proposed an image algorithm based on a cascaded chaotic system to improve the performance of the encryption algorithm. Firstly, this paper proposed an improved cascaded two-dimensional map 2D-Cosine-Logistic-Sine map (2D-CLSM). Cascade chaotic system offers good advantages in terms of key space, complexity and sensitivity to initial conditions. By using the control parameters and initial values associated with the plaintext, the system generates two chaotic sequences associated with the plaintext image. Then, an S-box construction method is proposed, and an encryption method is designed based on the S-box. Encryption is divided into bit-level encryption and pixel-level encryption, and a diffusion method was devised to improve security and efficiency in bit-level encryption. Performance analysis shows that the encryption algorithm has good security and is easily resistant to various attacks.     

Parallel and Practical Approach of Efficient Image Chaotic Encryption Based on Message Passing Interface (MPI)

Encrypting pictures quickly and securely is required to secure image transmission over the internet and local networks. This may be accomplished by employing a chaotic scheme with ideal properties such as unpredictability and non-periodicity. However, practically every modern-day system is a real-time system, for which time is a critical aspect for achieving the availability of the encrypted picture at the proper moment. From there, we must improve encryption’s performance and efficiency. For these goals, we adopted the distributed parallel programming model, namely, the message passing interface (MPI), in this study. Using the message passing interface, we created a novel parallel crypto-system. The suggested approach outperforms other models by 1.5 times. The suggested parallel encryption technique is applicable.
