Digital image encryption with chaotic map lattices

This paper proposes a secure approach for encryption and decryption of digital images with chaotic map lattices. In the proposed encryption process,eight different types of operations are used to encrypt the pixels of an image and one of them will be used for particular pixels decided by the outcome of the chaotic map lattices. To make the cipher more robust against any attacks,the secret key is modified after encrypting each block of sixteen pixels of the image. The experimental results and security analysis show that the proposed image encryption scheme achieves high security and efficiency.

Cryptanalysis of an ergodic chaotic encryption algorithm

In this paper, we present the results for the security and the possible attacks on a new symmetric key encryption algorithm based on the ergodicity property of a logistic map. After analysis, we use mathematical induction to prove that the algorithm can be attacked by a chosen plaintext attack successfully and give an example to show how to attack it. According to the cryptanalysis of the original algorithm, we improve the original algorithm, and make a brief cryptanalysis. Compared with the original algorithm, the improved algorithm is able to resist a chosen plaintext attack and retain a considerable number of advantages of the original algorithm such as encryption speed, sensitive dependence on the key, strong anti-attack capability, and so on.

In recent years, the chaos based cryptographic algorithms have suggested some new and efficient ways to develop secure image encryption techniques. This paper proposes a new approach for image encryption based on a high-dimensional chaotic map. The new scheme employs the Cat map to shuffle the positions, then to confuse the relationship between the cipher-image and the plain-image using the high-dimensional Lorenz chaotic map preprocessed. The results of experimental, statistical analysis and key space analysis show that the proposed image encryption scheme provides an efficient and secure way for real-time image encryption and transmission.

Simulation results and theoretical analysis show that the improved scheme has expected cryptographic properties and is more secure than the original algorithm.     

A novel image block cryptosystem based ona spatiotemporal chaotic system and a chaotic neural network

In this paper, we propose a novel block cryptographic scheme based on a spatiotemporal chaotic system and a chaotic neural network (CNN). The employed CNN comprises a 4-neuron layer called a chaotic neuron layer (CNL), where the spatiotemporal chaotic system participates in generating its weight matrix and other parameters. The spatiotemporal chaotic system used in our scheme is the typical coupled map lattice (CML), which can be easily implemented in parallel by hardware. A 160-bit-long binary sequence is used to generate the initial conditions of the CML. The decryption process is symmetric relative to the encryption process. Theoretical analysis and experimental results prove that the block cryptosystem is secure and practical, and suitable for image encryption.

Comments on “Color image encryption using Choquet fuzzy integral and hyper chaotic system”

An image encryption system whose cipher code stream only controlled by the secret key, but has nothing to do with the plaintext, is vulnerable to chosen plaintext attacks. Recently, an image encryption scheme using Choquet fuzzy integral and hyper chaotic Lorenz system has been proposed Liu et al. (2013), which employed plaintext-independent cipher code stream, then should be subjected to chosen plaintext attack. This paper cryptanalyzed the aforesaid encryption scheme using chosen plaintext attack, and pointed out that even if possessing good pseudorandom cipher code generation method, the encryption system is still insecure with unreasonable designed encryption scheme.

Synchronously scrambled diffuse image encryption method based on a new cosine chaotic map

We present a new cosine chaotic mapping proved by chaos theory test and analysis such that the system has good cryptography properties, wide chaos range, simple structure, and good sensitivity to initial value, and the mapping can meet the needs of chaotic image encryption. Based on the cosine chaotic system, we propose a new encryption method. First, according to the cyclic characteristics of the mapping, the cyclic information wave is simulated. Second, the quasi-Doppler effect is used to synchronously scramble and diffuse the image to obfuscate the original pixel. Finally, the XOR diffusion of image pixels is carried out by information wave to further enhance the encryption effect. Simulation experiment and security analysis show that the algorithm has good security, can resist the common attack mode, and has good efficiency.     

An image encryption algorithm based on improved baker transformation and chaotic S-box

The algorithm is an image encryption algorithm based on the improved baker transformation and chaotic substitution box(S-box). It mainly uses the initial values and parameters of a one-dimensional logistic chaotic system as an encryption key. Specifically, in the image scrambling stage, the algorithm primarily uses an improved baker transform method to process the image. In the image diffusion stage, the algorithm first uses the chaotic S-box method to process the encryption key. Secondly, an exclusive OR(XOR) operation is performed on the image and the encryption key to initially diffuse the image. Finally, the image is again diffused using the method of ortho XOR. Simulation analysis shows that the algorithm can achieve good encryption effect, simple and easy implementation, and good security. In the digital image communication transmission, it has good practical value.     

Application of coupled map lattice with parameter q in image encryption

In this paper, a novel coupled map lattice (CML) with parameter q is applied to image encryption to get higher security. The CML with parameter q is provided with Euler method and Adams–Bashforth–Moulton predictor–corrector method. In the new CML, dynamical properties are improved because the coupled strength can decrease the periodic dynamical behaviors which are caused by finite-precision. What's more, the CML changes system parameters from one-dimensional to two-dimensional. Two-dimensional parameters and coupling strengths provide researchers a possibility to improve the performance in image encryption. Finally, from numerical simulation results, it can be found that the CML improves the effectiveness and security.     

A novel chaotic image encryption scheme using DNA sequence operations

In this paper, we propose a novel image encryption scheme based on DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) sequence operations and chaotic system. Firstly, we perform bitwise exclusive OR operation on the pixels of the plain image using the pseudorandom sequences produced by the spatiotemporal chaos system, i.e., CML (coupled map lattice). Secondly, a DNA matrix is obtained by encoding the confused image using a kind of DNA encoding rule. Then we generate the new initial conditions of the CML according to this DNA matrix and the previous initial conditions, which can make the encryption result closely depend on every pixel of the plain image. Thirdly, the rows and columns of the DNA matrix are permuted. Then, the permuted DNA matrix is confused once again. At last, after decoding the confused DNA matrix using a kind of DNA decoding rule, we obtain the ciphered image. Experimental results and theoretical analysis show that the scheme is able to resist various attacks, so it has extraordinarily high security.     

Color image encryption using Choquet fuzzy integral and hyper chaotic system

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.
