Chaos-Based Image Encryption: Review, Application, and Challenges

Open access
Zhang, Bowen, Liu, Lingfeng·2023·Mathematics

Abstract

Chaos has been one of the most effective cryptographic sources since it was first used in image-encryption algorithms. This paper closely examines the development process of chaos-based image-encryption algorithms from various angles, including symmetric and asymmetric algorithms, block ciphers and stream ciphers, and integration with other technologies. The unique attributes of chaos, such as sensitivity to initial conditions, topological transitivity, and pseudo-randomness, are conducive to cross-referencing with other disciplines and improving image-encryption methods. Additionally, this paper covers practical application scenarios and current challenges of chaotic image encryption, thereby encouraging researchers to continue developing and complementing existing situations, and may also serve as a basis of future development prospects for chaos-based image encryption.

TL;DR

This review surveys chaos-based image encryption across symmetric/asymmetric, block/stream, spatial/frequency, and cross-technology approaches, and outlines applications and challenges. It argues chaos remains effective for image encryption but faces cryptanalysis and encrypted-image processing challenges.

Key findings

  • The review maps development milestones: first chaos-based image encryption (Fridrich, 1998), first hyperchaos application (Gao and Chen, 2008), first asymmetric chaotic image encryption (Cheng and Cheng, 2013), first elliptic-curve chaotic image encryption and first RSA chaotic image encryption (both 2017), first DWT frequency-domain chaotic image encryption (2009), first DNA+chaos color image encryption (2012), first neural-network+chaos image encryption (2009), first cellular-automata+chaos image encryption (2013), and blockchain use in 2021 (Table 1).
  • Security evaluation includes key space larger than 2^128 as sufficient against brute force; NIST suite uses 16 tests with significance level 0.01; metrics include histogram, correlation, information entropy, local entropy, UACI, NPCR, and resistance to known-plaintext, brute-force, statistical, ciphertext-only, and differential attacks.
  • Applications are mainly medical, IoT/microcontroller, and satellite fields; challenges are resistance to cryptanalysis/attack and processing encrypted images (compression, retrieval, selective encryption, thumbnail-preserving encryption).
  • Cryptanalysis examples: constant-key chaos schemes are vulnerable; [61] was broken with only three plaintext/ciphertext pairs in CPA and CCA; S-box-only chaotic image ciphers have CPA complexity O(128L); an information-entropy-based scheme was insecure against differential attack.

Methods

  • Narrative review, not experimental: organizes chaos-based image encryption by symmetric vs asymmetric, block vs stream cipher, spatial vs frequency domain, and integration with neural networks, genetic/DNA, cellular automata, blockchain, elliptic curve, and other technologies.
  • Data: no new data were created; images were completed by the authors; synthesis is based on cited literature and a timeline table of outstanding contributions.
  • Analysis: qualitative discussion of algorithms, security metrics, applications, and challenges; no systematic search protocol or quantitative meta-analysis is reported.

Limitations

  • The paper states no new data were created.
  • Evident from the text: as a narrative review, it does not report a systematic search strategy, inclusion/exclusion criteria, or quantitative synthesis, so coverage and conclusions depend on selected cited works.
  • The paper discusses challenges of the field but does not explicitly state limitations of the review itself.

      The Abstract (p. 2) reports that a differential attack can recover the equivalent secret key of every basic operation when IEAIE has one round. In “Differential Cryptanalysis” (p. 8), the authors say they skip cryptanalysis of the full two-round version. The claim omits that limitation and presents the differential-attack result as applying to the algorithm generally. (LLM, conf=0.88)

      The Conclusion (p. 9) confirms that the authors proposed an image-encryption scheme exploiting finite-precision computer error as a source of randomness. It explicitly says they did so instead of attempting to mitigate finite-precision degradation, so the claim that the scheme solves that degradation problem overstates the paper. (LLM, conf=0.88)

Self-check

Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.

  • Shakiba's algorithm has conflicting publication years

    Minor

    The review timeline places Shakiba's cited algorithm in 2019, whereas reference [121] dates it to 2021.

  • Lorenz equation is attributed to a reference about May's model

    Minor

    The Lorenz equation is cited as reference [3], but [3] is May's 1976 paper; the paper lists Lorenz's work as reference [1].

  • OCML authors do not match reference [87]

    Minor

    The text assigns an OCML scheme by Rhouma and Meherzi to [87], but [87] lists Liu, Sun, and Xu. The Rhouma and Meherzi OCML paper appears as [91].

  • Mao and Chen's Baker-map work is assigned the wrong reference

    Minor

    The passage cites [38] for Mao and Chen's 3D Baker-map work, but [38] is a paper by Baptista. The reference list identifies the Baker-map paper as [43].

  • Cellular-automata scheme does not match reference [147]

    Minor

    The passage attributes [147] to Niyat and Moattar's cellular-automata scheme, but reference [147] lists a paper by Wu, Liao, and Yang on elliptic-curve encryption.

  • The stated first image-encryption algorithm conflicts with an earlier scheme

    Minor

    Table 1 calls Fridrich's 1998 algorithm the first chaos-based image-encryption algorithm, while the text describes an earlier scheme by Pichler and Scharinger, whose cited publication is dated 1996.

  • Fridrich's publication year conflicts with reference [26]

    Minor

    The text dates Fridrich's cited work to 1996, but reference [26] lists it as published in 1998.

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.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-18.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-18.

Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.

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.
