Image Encryption Algorithm Based on Genetic Algorithm

Abstract:

According to the idea of genetic algorithm, a new image encryption algorithm is proposed. Define each pixel of the image as a gene, each row of the image as a chromosome, the whole image as an organism. Then we design a selection operator, which based on SVD. After the operation of selection, crossover and mutation of the image, we can get the encrypted image. The simulation results show that very nice encryption effects and good robustness are obtained and the high safety of the new algorithm are analyzed.
