A Chaotic Image Encryption Algorithm Based on Information Entropy
Abstract
This paper proposes an image encryption algorithm based on a chaotic map and information entropy. Unlike Fridrich’s structure, the proposed method contains permutation, modulation, and diffusion (PMD) operations. This method avoids the shortcoming in traditional schemes of strictly shuffling the pixel positions before diffusion encryption. Information entropy is employed to influence the generation of the keystream. The initial keys used in the permutation and diffusion stages interact with each other. As a result, the algorithm acts as an indivisible entity to enhance security. Experimental results and security analyses demonstrate the good performance of the proposed algorithm as a secure and effective communication method for images.

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.
