A Fast Image Encryption by Bit-Chaotic-Shuffle Based on Chaotic Systems
Due to rapid developments in computer networking and communi- cation technology, users have begun to use personal computers to transmit images through the internet. However, this activity puts users at risk of hacker attacks and theft. Although single pixel position shuffling can eliminate an image’s contour, it cannot hide the characteristics of the grey-level spectrum. Because the dynamic trajectories of a chaotic system are highly sensitive to the initial values of the system, applying chaotic-ciphering to the image will result in a good encryption effect, and significantly enhance the key space of the encrypted image. For these reasons, this paper propose a novel and simple Bit-Chaotic-Shuffle (BCS) technique for encryption on color images that is based on multi chaotic systems. This technique not only eliminates image contours, but also disorders the characteristics of the RGB-level spectrum. This encryption method also adopts three chaotic systems in which the key space reaches 10137, thoroughly preventing decryption by an exhaustive attack. This paper further applies the correction coefficient and Mean Square Error (MSE) methods to prove the encryption and the high security performance of the proposed encryption system
