Abstract 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 More >

Abstract 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… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of 5G technology, it has become fast and easy for people to transmit information on the Internet. Digital images can express information more intuitively, so transmitting information through images has excellent applications. This paper uses a new chaotic system called 1D-Sin-Logistic-Map (1D-SLM). 1D-SLM has two control parameters, which can provide larger parameter space, and the parameter space in the chaotic state is continuous. Through Lyapunov exponent analysis (LE), bifurcation diagrams analysis, spectral entropy analysis (SE), and 0-1 test, it is verified that 1D-SLM has complex dynamic behavior and is very suitable More >

Abstract The generation method of the key stream and the structure of the algorithm determine the security of the cryptosystem. The classical chaotic map has simple dynamic behavior and few control parameters, so it is not suitable for modern cryptography. In this paper, we design a new 2D hyperchaotic system called 2D simple structure and complex dynamic behavior map (2D-SSCDB). The 2D-SSCDB has a simple structure but has complex dynamic behavior. The Lyapunov exponent verifies that the 2D-SSCDB has hyperchaotic behavior, and the parameter space in the hyperchaotic state is extensive and continuous. Trajectory analysis and… More >

Abstract 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… More >
