Abstract Based on the two-dimensional logistic map and a single improved genetic operator, a new image encryption system is proposed. The original image is transformed into DNA sequences, a subdivision into blocks of size calculated by using the chaotic map, with the intention to apply a crossover between blocks chaotically selected from a chaotic control vectors. For the installation of a diffusion phase, a strong link is established between the block resulting from a crossing operation and the next original block. Hoping to considerably increase the impact of the avalanche effect and protect the system against any differential attack. Simulations performed on a large number of images of different size and formats ensure that our method is not subject to any known attacks.

We propose a new image encryption algorithm based on DNA sequences combined with chaotic maps. This algorithm has two innovations: (1) it diffuses the pixels by transforming the nucleotides into corresponding base pairs a random number of times and (2) it confuses the pixels by a chaotic index based on a chaotic map. For any size of the original grayscale image, the rows and columns are fist exchanged by the arrays generated by a logistic chaotic map. Secondly, each pixel that has been confused is encoded into four nucleotides according to the DNA coding. Thirdly, each nucleotide is transformed into the corresponding base pair a random number of time(s) by a series of iterative computations based on Chebyshev’s chaotic map. Experimental results indicate that the key account of this algorithm is 1.536 × 10127, the correlation coefficient of a 256 × 256 Lena image between, before, and after the encryption processes was 0.0028, and the information entropy of the encrypted image was 7.9854. These simulation results and security analysis show that the proposed algorithm not only has good encryption effect, but also has the ability to repel exhaustive, statistical, differential, and noise attacks.

Chaos systems have been widely used in image encryption algorithms. In this article, we introduce an LB (Logistic-Baker) compound chaotic map that can greatly improve the complexity of original Logistic map and Baker map, as well as the generated sequences have pseudo-randomness. Furthermore, based on the LB compound chaotic map, an image encryption algorithm is proposed. To resist the differential attack, and enhance the sensitivity of plain-text, the parameters of this algorithm are plain-text related. In this algorithm, the compound chaotic function is influenced by the plain-text image; thus, the specific form of this chaotic map, and its dynamics will be different when encrypting different images. Numerical experiment results indicate that the effect of this novel plain-text related image encryption scheme is excellent, as well as can be competitive with other corresponding algorithms.

This research presents a method of image encryption that has been designed based on the algorithm of complete shuffling, transformation of substitution box, and predicated image crypto-system. This proposed algorithm presents extra confusion in the first phase because of including an S-box based on using substitution by AES algorithm in encryption and its inverse in Decryption. In the second phase, shifting and rotation were used based on secrete key in each channel depending on the result from the chaotic map, 2D logistic map and the output was processed and used for the encryption algorithm. It is known from earlier studies that simple encryption of images based on the scheme of shuffling is insecure in the face of chosen cipher text attacks. Later, an extended algorithm has been projected. This algorithm performs well against chosen cipher text attacks. In addition, the proposed approach was analyzed for NPCR, UACI (Unified Average Changing Intensity), and Entropy analysis for determining its strength.

The popularization of 5G and the development of cloud computing further promote the application of images. The storage of images in an untrusted environment has a great risk of privacy leakage. This paper outlines a design for a lightweight image encryption algorithm based on a message-passing algorithm with a chaotic external message. The message-passing (MP) algorithm allows simple messages to be passed locally for the solution to a global problem, which causes the interaction among adjacent pixels without additional space cost. This chaotic system can generate high pseudorandom sequences with high speed performance. A two-dimensional logistic map is utilized as a pseudorandom sequence generator to yield the external message sets of edge pixels. The external message can affect edge pixels, and then adjacent pixels interact with each other to produce an encrypted image. A MATLAB simulation shows the cipher-image performs fairly uniform distribution and has acceptable information entropy of 7.996749. The proposed algorithm reduces correlation coefficients from plain-image 1 to its cipher-image 0, which covers all of the plain-image characters with high computational efficiency (speed = 18.200374 Mbit/s). Theoretical analyses and experimental results prove the proposed algorithm’s persistence to various existing attacks with low cost.

In this paper, the properties of the classical confusion–substitution structure and some recently proposed pseudorandom number generators using one-dimensional chaotic maps are investigated. To solve the low security problem of the original structure, a new bit-level cellular automata strategy is used to improve the sensitivity to the cryptosystem. We find that the new evolution effects among different generations of cells in cellular automata can significantly improve the diffusion effect. After this, a new one-dimensional chaotic map is proposed, which is constructed by coupling the logistic map and the Bernoulli map (LBM). The new map exhibits a much better random behavior and is more efficient than comparable ones. Due to the favorable properties of the new map and cellular automata algorithm, we propose a new image-encryption algorithm in which three-dimensional bit-level permutation with LBM is employed in the confusion phase. Simulations are carried out, and the results demonstrate the superior security and high efficiency of the proposed scheme.

Considering that a majority of the traditional one-dimensional discrete chaotic maps have disadvantages including a relatively narrow chaotic range, smaller Lyapunov exponents, and excessive periodic windows, a new nonlinearly modulated Logistic map with delay model (NMLD) is proposed. Accordingly, a chaotic map called a first-order Feigenbaum-Logistic NMLD (FL-NMLD) is proposed. Simulation results demonstrate that FL-NMLD has a considerably wider chaotic range, larger Lyapunov exponents, and superior ergodicity compared with existing chaotic maps. Based on FL-NMLD, we propose a new image encryption algorithm that joins the pixel plane and bit-plane shuffle (JPB). The simulation and test results confirm that JPB has higher security than simple pixel-plane encryption and is faster than simple bit-plane encryption. Moreover, it can resist the majority of attacks including statistical and differential attacks.

Based on a logistic map and Feigenbaum map, we proposed a logistic Feigenbaum non-linear cross-coupled hyperchaotic map (LF-NCHM) model. Experimental verification showed that the system is a hyperchaotic system. Compared with the existing cross-coupled mapping, LF-NCHM demonstrated a wider hyperchaotic range, better ergodicity and richer dynamic behavior. A hyperchaotic sequence with the same number of image pixels was generated by LF-NCHM, and a novel image-encryption algorithm with permutation that is dynamically related to plaintext pixels was proposed. In the scrambling stage, the position of the first scrambled pixel was related to the sum of the plaintext pixel values, and the positions of the remaining scrambled pixels were related to the pixel values after the previous scrambling. The scrambling operation also had a certain diffusion effect. In the diffusion phase, using the same chaotic sequence as in the scrambling stage increased the usage rate of the hyperchaotic sequence and improved the calculation efficiency of the algorithm. A large number of experimental simulations and cryptanalyses were performed, and the results proved that the algorithm had outstanding security and extremely high encryption efficiency. In addition, LF-NCHM could effectively resist statistical analysis attacks, differential attacks and chosen-plaintext attacks.

Multimedia encryption innovation is one of the primary ways of securely and privately guaranteeing the security of media transmission. There are many advantages when utilizing the attributes of chaos, for example, arbitrariness, consistency, ergodicity, and initial condition affectability, for any covert multimedia transmission. Additionally, many more benefits can be introduced with the exceptional space compliance, unique information, and processing capability of real mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA). In this article, color image encryption employs a confusion process based on a hybrid chaotic map, first to split each channel of color images into n-clusters; then to create global shuffling over the whole image; and finally, to apply intrapixel shuffling in each cluster, which results in very disordered pixels in the encrypted image. Then, it utilizes the rationale of human mitochondrial genome mtDNA to diffuse the previously confused pixel values. Hypothetical examination and trial results demonstrate that the anticipated scheme exhibits outstanding encryption, as well as successfully opposes chosen/known plain text, statistical, and differential attacks.

Image encryption technology is one of the main means to ensure the safety of image information. Using the characteristics of chaos, such as randomness, regularity, ergodicity, and initial value sensitiveness, combined with the unique space conformation of DNA molecules and their unique information storage and processing ability, an efficient method for image encryption based on the chaos theory and a DNA sequence database is proposed. In this paper, digital image encryption employs a process of transforming the image pixel gray value by using chaotic sequence scrambling image pixel location and establishing superchaotic mapping, which maps quaternary sequences and DNA sequences, and by combining with the logic of the transformation between DNA sequences. The bases are replaced under the displaced rules by using DNA coding in a certain number of iterations that are based on the enhanced quaternary hyperchaotic sequence; the sequence is generated by Chen chaos. The cipher feedback mode and chaos iteration are employed in the encryption process to enhance the confusion and diffusion properties of the algorithm. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed scheme not only demonstrates excellent encryption but also effectively resists chosen-plaintext attack, statistical attack, and differential attack.
