Abstract

With the development of communication techniques and the Internet, how to protect private image transmission on the Internet has been a research highlight. Scholars have proposed different kinds of image encryption algorithms. Some of them are not secure enough. A novel cryptosystem is presented which is based on a 6D hyperchaotic system and random signal insertion. To enhance the dynamic performance of the hyperchaotic system, insert some random signals into the system variables during iteration. The sum value of all plaintext pixels is used to produce the initial values of the system. Thus, the proposed cryptosystem is closely related to the plain image. Split a pixel into two equal parts and form a larger matrix. Scrambling, cycle shift, and diffusion are operated on the new matrix. Finally, we obtain the encrypted image. The simulation results reveal that the proposed method has a very large key space, high key sensitivity and robustness, and is able to resist many different attacks. It is more secure than many other image encryption schemes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
