Abstract Fehr et al. (2010) proposed the first sender-equivocable encryption scheme secure against chosen-ciphertext attacks (NCCCA) and proved that NC-CCA security implies security against selective opening chosen-ciphertext attacks (SO-CCA). The NC-CCA security proof of the scheme relies on security against substitution attacks of a new primitive, the “crossauthentication code”. However, the security of the cross-authentication code cannot be guaranteed when all the keys used in the code are exposed. Our key observation is that, in the NC-CCA security game, the randomness used in the generation of the challenge ciphertext is exposed to the adversary. Based on this observation, we provide a security analysis of Fehr et al.’s scheme, showing that its NC-CCA security proof is flawed. We also point out that the scheme of Fehr et al. encrypting a single-bit plaintext can be refined to achieve NC-CCA security, free of the cross-authentication code. Furthermore, we propose the notion of “strong cross-authentication code”, apply it to Fehr et al.’s scheme, and show that the new version of the latter achieves NC-CCA security for multi-bit plaintexts.

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.

Encryption Schemes

Recently, the concept of DNA has been invested in computing technology in different ways which linking information technology and biological sciences. There are several encryption algorithms based on DNA encoding that has been proposed, which leads to generating a new direction in image encryption. However, the DNA encryption scheme has drawbacks such as expensive experimental equipment, difficult operations, and hard to hold its biotechnology. Additionally, during careful cryptanalysis that applied to most of these image encryption schemes, we notice that DNA operators can only influence one DNA base, which causes poor diffusion. Our proposed scheme is not applied complex biological operation but just is given to improve the diffusion ability of image encryption scheme by using DNA sequence and DCT transform. Our works overcome above-aforementioned issues. Furthermore, empirical results on real images and security analysis demonstrate that our proposed scheme not only has flexibility and efficiency encryption scheme but also has the ability to resist well-known attacks such as entropy attack, differential attack, statistical attack, chosen/known plain image attack. Additionally, our work enjoys several strong characteristics as follows: (1) the decryption error is very low to recover the original image; (2) Once key for each encryption process and if the user wants to use the same key in many times, our proposed scheme supports secret key sensitivity; (3) the value of correlation of the encrypted image is null; (4) the scrambling process is good and generate high disorder at the output. As a result, our proposed scheme achieves a good balance between strong security and high performance.

A recently proposed secure image encryption scheme has drawn attention to the limited security offered by chaos-based image encryption schemes (mainly due to their relatively small key space) proposing a highly robust approach, based on Rubik's cube principle. This paper aims to study a newly designed image cryptosystem that uses the Rubik's cube principle in conjunction with a digital chaotic cipher. Thus, the original image is shuffled on Rubik's cube principle (due to its proven confusion properties), and then XOR operator is applied to rows and columns of the scrambled image using a chaos-based cipher (due to its proven diffusion properties). Finally, the experimental results and security analysis show that the newly proposed image encryption scheme not only can achieve good encryption and perfect hiding ability but also can resist any cryptanalytic attacks (e.g., exhaustive attack, differential attack, statistical attack, etc.).

Chaos is considered as a natural candidate for encryption systems owing to its sensitivity to initial values and unpredictability of its orbit. However, some encryption schemes based on low-dimensional chaotic systems exhibit various security defects due to their relatively simple dynamic characteristics. In order to enhance the dynamic behaviors of chaotic maps, a novel 3D infinite collapse map (3D-ICM) is proposed, and the performance of the chaotic system is analyzed from three aspects: a phase diagram, the Lyapunov exponent, and Sample Entropy. The results show that the chaotic system has complex chaotic behavior and high complexity. Furthermore, an image encryption scheme based on 3D-ICM is presented, whose security analysis indicates that the proposed image encryption scheme can resist violent attacks, correlation analysis, and differential attacks, so it has a higher security level.

With the development of cloud storage technology, data storage security has become increasingly serious. Aiming at the problem that existing attribute-based encryption schemes do not consider hierarchical authorities and the weight of attribute. A hierarchical authority based weighted attribute encryption scheme is proposed. This scheme will introduce hierarchical authorities and the weight of attribute into the encryption scheme, so that the authorities have a hierarchical relationship and different attributes have different importance. At the same time, the introduction of the concept of weight makes this scheme more flexible in the cloud storage environment and enables fine-grained access control. In addition, this scheme implements an online/offline encryption mechanism to improve the security of stored data. Security proof and performance analysis show that the scheme is safe and effective, and it can resist collusion attacks by many malicious users and authorization centers. It is more suitable for cloud storage environments than other schemes.

Homomorphic encryption became popular and powerful cryptographic primitive for various cloud computing applications. In the recent decades several developments has been made. Few schemes based on coding theory have been proposed but none of them support unlimited operations with security.   We propose a modified Reed-Muller Code based symmetric key fully homomorphic encryption to improve its security by using message expansion technique. Message expansion with prepended random fixed length string provides one-to-many mapping between message and codeword, thus one-to many mapping between plaintext and ciphertext. The proposed scheme supports both (MOD 2) additive and multiplication operations unlimitedly.   We make an effort to prove the security of the scheme under indistinguishability under chosen-plaintext attack (IND-CPA) through a game-based security proof. The security proof gives a mathematical analysis and its complexity of hardness. Also, it presents security analysis against all the known attacks with respect to the message expansion and homomorphic operations.

Broadcast encryption scheme enables a sender distribute the confidential content to a certain set of intended recipients. It has been applied in cloud computing, TV broadcasts, and many other scenarios. Inner product broadcast encryption takes merits of both broadcast encryption and inner product encryption. However, it is crucial to reduce the computation cost and to take the recipient’s privacy into consideration in the inner product broadcast encryption scheme. In order to address these problems, we focus on constructing a secure and practical inner product broadcast encryption scheme in this paper. First, we build an anonymous certificate-based inner product broadcast encryption scheme. Especially, we give the concrete construction and security analysis. Second, compared with the existing inner product broadcast encryption schemes, the proposed scheme has an advantage of anonymity. Security proofs show that the proposed scheme achieves confidentiality and anonymity against adaptive chosen-ciphertext attacks. Finally, we implement the proposed anonymous inner product broadcast encryption scheme and evaluate its performance. Test results show that the proposed scheme supports faster decryption operations and has higher efficiency.

A selective bit-plane encryption scheme was proposed for securing the transmission of image data in mobile environments with a claim that it provides a high security viz. the encryption of the four most significant bit-planes is sufficient for a high image data security. This paper presents the security analysis of the said encryption scheme and reports new important results. We perform the security analysis of the bit-level encryption by considering the normal images and their histogram equalised enhanced images. We consider different bit-plane aspects to analyse the security of the image encryption, and show that the encryption of the four most significant bit-planes is not adequate. The contents of the images can be obtained even when all the bit-planes except one least significant bit-plane are encrypted in the histogram equalised images as shown in the results. The bit-plane level security analysis seems very useful for the analysis of the bit-plane level image encryption schemes.

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.

AbstractMost of existing image encryption schemes are proposed in the spatial domain which easily destroys the correlation between pixels. This paper proposes an image encryption scheme by employing discrete cosine transform (DCT), quantum logistic map and substitution-permutation network (SPN). The DCT is used to transform the images in the frequency domain. Meanwhile, the SPN is used to provide the security properties of confusion and diffusion. The SPN provides fast encryption as compared to the asymmetric based image encryption since operations with low computational complexity are used (e.g., exclusive-or and permutation). Different statistical experiments and security analysis are performed against six grayscale and color images to justify the effectiveness and security of the proposed image encryption scheme.
