Abstract The use of multimedia data sharing has drastically increased in the past few decades due to the revolutionary improvements in communication technologies such as the 4th generation (4G) and 5th generation (5G) etc. Researchers have proposed many image encryption algorithms based on the classical random walk and chaos theory for sharing an image in a secure way. Instead of the classical random walk, this paper proposes the quantum walk to achieve high image security. Classical random walk exhibits randomness due to the stochastic transitions between states, on the other hand, the quantum walk is more… More >

Abstract In the current scenario, data transmission over the network is a challenging task as there is a need for protecting sensitive data. Traditional encryption schemes are less sensitive and less complex thus prone to attacks during transmission. It has been observed that an encryption scheme using chaotic theory is more promising due to its non-linear and unpredictable behavior. Hence, proposed a novel hybrid image encryption scheme with multi-scroll attractors and quantum chaos logistic maps (MSA-QCLM). The image data is classified as inter-bits and intra-bits which are permutated separately using multi scroll attractor & quantum logistic… More >

Abstract Nonlinear dynamics is a fascinating area that is intensely affecting a wide range of different disciplines of science and technology globally. The combination of different innovative topics of information security and high-speed computing has added new visions into the behavior of complex nonlinear dynamical systems which uncovered amazing results even in the least difficult nonlinear models. The generation of complex actions from a very simple dynamical method has a strong relation with information security. The protection of digital content is one of the inescapable concerns of the digitally advanced world. Today, information plays an important… More >

Abstract Various chaos-based image encryption schemes have been proposed in last few years. The proposed image encryption method uses chaotic map. The encryption is done by using 256 bit long external secret key. The initial condition for the chaotic mapping is evaluated by the use of external secret key along with the mapping function. Besides that, the proposed method is made more robust by applying multiple operations to the pixels of the image depending on the outcome of the calculation of the logistic map. Moreover, block shuffling of the image and modifying the secret key after More >
