AbstractThe security of digital content during transmission and storage through insecure communication links and databases is a challenging issue in today's world. In this article, an encryption scheme based on fractal Tromino and Chebyshev polynomial-based generated chaotic matrix is presented. The scheme fulfills the most fundamental aspect of encryption that is diffusion and confusion. For confusion highly non-linear, pre-defined S-boxes are used. The proposed scheme has been tested using state-of-the-art key performance indicators including differential analysis, statistical analysis. Information entropy analysis, mean square error, and NIST-based randomness analysis. The encrypted images have the highest practically achievable entropy of 7.999 and the time analysis shows that the proposed system is suitable for real-time implementation. The rest of the results indicates that the proposed cryptosystem possesses high immunity toward various attacks. The security analysis compared with the existing scheme shows the strength of the suggested scheme.

In order to improve the security and efficiency of image encryption systems comprehensively, a novel chaotic S-box based image encryption scheme is proposed. Firstly, a new compound chaotic system, Sine-Tent map, is proposed to widen the chaotic range and improve the chaotic performance of 1D discrete chaotic maps. As a result, the new compound chaotic system is more suitable for cryptosystem. Secondly, an efficient and simple method for generating S-boxes is proposed, which can greatly improve the efficiency of S-box production. Thirdly, a novel double S-box based image encryption algorithm is proposed. By introducing equivalent key sequences {r, t} related with image ciphertext, the proposed cryptosystem can resist the four classical types of attacks, which is an advantage over other S-box based encryption schemes. Furthermore, it enhanced the resistance of the system to differential analysis attack by two rounds of forward and backward confusion-diffusion operation with double S-boxes. The simulation results and security analysis verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. The new scheme has obvious efficiency advantages, which means that it has better application potential in real-time image encryption.

We present a novel image encryption algorithm using Chebyshev polynomial based on permutation and substitution and Duffing map based on substitution. Comprehensive security analysis has been performed on the designed scheme using key space analysis, visual testing, histogram analysis, information entropy calculation, correlation coefficient analysis, differential analysis, key sensitivity test, and speed test. The study demonstrates that the proposed image encryption algorithm shows advantages of more than10113key space and desirable level of security based on the good statistical results and theoretical arguments.

Background & Objective: Cryptographic protocols had been evident method for ensuring con dentiality, Integrity and authentication in various digital communication systems. However the validation and analysis of such cryptographic protocols was limited to usage of formal mathematical models until few years back. Methods: In this paper, various popular cryptographic protocols have been studied. Some of these protocols (PAP, CHAP, and EAP) achieve security goals in peer to peer communication while others (RADIUS, DIAMETER and Kerberos) can work in multiparty environment. These protocols were validated and analysed over two popular security validation and analysis tools AVISPA and Scyther. The protocols were written according to their documentation using the HLPSL and SPDL for analysis over AVISPA and Scyther respectively. The results of these tools were analysed to nd the possible attack an each protocol. Afterwards The execution time analysis of the protocols were done by repeating the experiment for multiple iterations over the command line versions of these tools.As the literature review suggested, this research also validates that using password based protocols (PAP) is faster in terms of execution time as compared to other methods, Usage of nonces tackles the replay attack and DIAMETER is secure than RADIUS. Results and Conclusion: The results also showed us that DIAMETER is faster than RADIUS. Though Kerberos protocol was found to safe, the results tell us that it is compromisable under particular circumstances.

Data deduplication serves as an effective way to optimize the storage occupation and the bandwidth consumption over clouds. As for the security of deduplication mechanism, users’ privacy and accessibility are of utmost concern since data are outsourced. However, the functionality of redundancy removal and the indistinguishability of deduplication labels are naturally incompatible, which bring about a lot of threats on data security. Besides, the access control of sharing copies may lead to infringement on users’ attributes and cumbersome query overheads. To balance the usability with the confidentiality of deduplication labels and securely realize an elaborate access structure, a novel data deduplication scheme is proposed in this paper. Briefly speaking, we drew support from learning with errors (LWE) to make sure that the deduplication labels are only differentiable during the duplication check process. Instead of authority matching, the proof of ownership (PoW) is then implemented under the paradigm of inner production. Since the deduplication label is light-weighted and the inner production is easy to carry out, our scheme is more efficient in terms of computation and storage. Security analysis also indicated that the deduplication labels are distinguishable only for duplication check, and the probability of falsifying a valid ownership is negligible.

The widespread use of images in various sectors of life makes its protection increasingly necessary and important. An improvement over encryption and decryption algorithm using exponential logistic chaotic map was proposed. In this work, we adopt an encryption/decryption strategy for colour images using the exponential logistic chaotic map. The proposed encryption/decryption algorithms are implemented in MATLAB for computer simulation. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithms can be used successfully to encrypt/decrypt images with secret keys. The performance analysis using histogram uniformity analysis and correlation coefficient show that the algorithms give larger space, quick speed and easy to realize. The encrypted images have good encryption effect and low correlation coefficient rendering it a good candidate for confidential and secure means of transmitting image information in untrusted networks.

This paper presents an improved cryptanalysis of a chaos-based image encryption scheme, which integrated permutation, diffusion, and linear transformation process. It was found that the equivalent key streams and all the unknown parameters of the cryptosystem can be recovered by our chosen-plaintext attack algorithm. Both a theoretical analysis and an experimental validation are given in detail. Based on the analysis of the defects in the original cryptosystem, an improved color image encryption scheme was further developed. By using an image content–related approach in generating diffusion arrays and the process of interweaving diffusion and confusion, the security of the cryptosystem was enhanced. The experimental results and security analysis demonstrate the security superiority of the improved cryptosystem.

In this paper, an efficient scheme for image encryption based on the nested chaotic map and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is introduced. In order to generate the initial condition values of the nested chaotic system, the Secure Hash Algorithm SHA-256 is used. The algorithm consists of two main layers: confusion and diffusion. In the first layer, the nested chaotic map is employed to create the scrambled image. The scrambled image is obtained through the ascending sorting of the first component of the nested chaotic index sequence. To ensure higher sensitivity, higher complexity and higher security, DNA sequence and DNA operator are employed additionally with the nested chaotic map and hash algorithm to modify the pixel values. The important advantages of our algorithm are the improvement of Number of Pixel Change Rate (NPCR), Unified Average Changing Intensity (UACI) and entropy, which improve resistivity against several attacks. Experimental results and relevant security analysis demonstrated that our proposed encryption scheme has the highest security level because it is more complicated, and it has a sufficiently large key space. The proposed method is compared to other recent image encryption schemes using different security analysis factors, including NPCR, UACI, correlation coefficients (CCs), encryption quality (EQ) and entropy. It is also resistant to noise (Salt and Pepper, Gaussian and speckle) and data loss attacks. The illustrated results demonstrated that the proposed image encryption scheme is efficient, and can be adopted for image encryption and transmission.
