A Symmetric Image Encryption Scheme Base on Hyperchaotic System

Abstract:

In recent years, chaos-based image encryption technologies have been widely studied to meet the increasing demand for real-time secure image transmission applications. To overcome the drawbacks of small key space and weak security in many existing schemes based on low-dimensional chaotic maps, this paper suggests a security improved scheme with a permutation-diffusion architecture. In the permutation stage, baker map is employed to shuffle the pixel positions. In the diffusion stage, the value of each pixel is altered by using a key stream derived from hyperchaotic system. Compared with ordinary chaotic systems, hyperchaotic systems, with more complex dynamical behaviors and number of system variables, offer greater potential for secure cryptosystem construction. Extensive security analysis has been performed on the proposed scheme, including the most important ones like key space analysis, statistical analysis and key sensitivity, which has demonstrated the satisfactory security of the proposed scheme.
