Medical Image Encryption Based on 2D Zigzag Confusion and Dynamic Diffusion
For the security of medical image, a new algorithm of medical image encryption is designed. The novel algorithm is based on a chaotic system composed of the two-dimensional Sine Logistic modulation map (2D-SLMM) and the two-dimensional Hénon-Sine map (2D-HSM). The main encryption procedure includes zigzag scan scramble, pixel grey value transformation, and dynamic diffusion. On the pixel grey value transformation stage, a password feedback is added. This makes the relationship between password and key more complicated. The proposed scheme is lossless for medical image encryption and decryption. It avoids the problems of low-dimensional chaotic map such as narrow interval and few parameters, as well as the problem of the special texture and contour of medical images. The key space of the novel algorithm is big enough, and the encryption and decryption processing are sensitive to the key. Simulation and experiments validate the effectiveness and efficiency of the novel algorithm. Security analysis proves the algorithm is resistant to common attacks.
