Abstract

The present research will propose an innovative technique for pixel-level encryption of color images. After isolating the R, G, and B channels and converting them into vector mode, an enhanced Feistel network will be applied at the hexadecimal level, facilitated by integrating a substitution table generated from the employed chaotic maps. This is followed by a binary conversion and a shift ensured by pseudo-random vectors. A diffusion function is applied, incorporating another replacement matrix constructed from commonly used chaotic maps in cryptography. This operation links the cipher pixel to the next pixel, thereby reinforcing the avalanche effect and safeguarding the system against any differential attacks. Simulations conducted using our new system on various color images, arbitrarily selected from multiple databases, have yielded satisfactory and highly promising results.

Abstract

Currently, digital communication generates a considerable amount of data from digital images. Preserving the confidentiality of these images during transmission through network channels is of crucial importance. To ensure the security of this data, this article proposes an image encryption approach based on enhancing the Hill cipher by constructing pseudo-random matrices operating in the ring Z/212Z injected into a controlled affine transformation. This approach relies on the use of chaotic maps for generating matrices used in the encryption process. The use of the ring Z/212Z aims to expand the key space of our cryptosystem, thus providing increased protection against brute-force attacks. Moreover, to enhance security against differential attacks, a matrix of size (4×4), not necessarily invertible, is also integrated into a diffusion phase. The effectiveness of our technique is evaluated through specific tests, such as key space analysis, histogram analysis, entropy calculation, NPCR and UACI values, correlation analysis, as well as avalanche effect assessment.

Abstract

The pixel unit is an essential component of many encryption schemes. In the beginning two substitution tables, separately constructed from chaotic maps namely, the logistic map, slanted tent map, and the AJ map, which has a very high Lyapunov exponent and is very sensitive to start factors, are used to make modifications at the pixel level. These S-Boxes have a maximum period and are produced from several linear congruential generators. This approach uses newly developed confusion and diffusion functions connected to the recently built substitution tables to perform a refined Vigenere strategy. The purpose of this chaining is to defend the system from differential assaults. Extensive simulations on a variety of image formats and sizes confirm our process’s robustness against identified dangers.

Abstract

This article presents an improvement to the traditional Vigenere encryption method, specifically adapted for the encryption of color images. This enhancement relies on the use of two chaotic maps widely employed in the field of cryptography. After vectorizing the original image and calculating the initialization value, which alters the seeding pixel to trigger the encryption process, our approach integrates two new large substitution tables. These tables are linked to confusion and diffusion functions, incorporating multiple reversible pseudo-random affine functions at the pixel level. Finally, a global permutation is applied to the entire resulting vector to increase the temporal complexity of potential attacks on our system. Simulations conducted on a diverse set of images of various sizes and formats demonstrate the resilience of our approach against any unexpected attacks.
