A Novel Latin Square Image Cipher
In this paper, we introduce a symmetric-key Latin square image cipher (LSIC)
for grayscale and color images. Our contributions to the image encryption
community include 1) we develop new Latin square image encryption primitives
including Latin Square Whitening, Latin Square S-box and Latin Square P-box ;
2) we provide a new way of integrating probabilistic encryption in image
encryption by embedding random noise in the least significant image bit-plane;
and 3) we construct LSIC with these Latin square image encryption primitives
all on one keyed Latin square in a new loom-like substitution-permutation
network. Consequently, the proposed LSIC achieve many desired properties of a
secure cipher including a large key space, high key sensitivities, uniformly
distributed ciphertext, excellent confusion and diffusion properties,
semantically secure, and robustness against channel noise. Theoretical analysis
show that the LSIC has good resistance to many attack models including
brute-force attacks, ciphertext-only attacks, known-plaintext attacks and
chosen-plaintext attacks. Experimental analysis under extensive simulation
results using the complete USC-SIPI Miscellaneous image dataset demonstrate
that LSIC outperforms or reach state of the art suggested by many peer
algorithms. All these analysis and results demonstrate that the LSIC is very
suitable for digital image encryption. Finally, we open source the LSIC MATLAB
code under webpage https://sites.google.com/site/tuftsyuewu/source-code.Comment: 26 pages, 17 figures, and 7 table
3D Textured Model Encryption via 3D Lu Chaotic Mapping
In the coming Virtual/Augmented Reality (VR/AR) era, 3D contents will be
popularized just as images and videos today. The security and privacy of these
3D contents should be taken into consideration. 3D contents contain surface
models and solid models. The surface models include point clouds, meshes and
textured models. Previous work mainly focus on encryption of solid models,
point clouds and meshes. This work focuses on the most complicated 3D textured
model. We propose a 3D Lu chaotic mapping based encryption method of 3D
textured model. We encrypt the vertexes, the polygons and the textures of 3D
models separately using the 3D Lu chaotic mapping. Then the encrypted vertices,
edges and texture maps are composited together to form the final encrypted 3D
textured model. The experimental results reveal that our method can encrypt and
decrypt 3D textured models correctly. In addition, our method can resistant
several attacks such as brute-force attack and statistic attack.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figures, under review of SCI
A novel conservative chaos driven dynamic DNA coding for image encryption
In this paper, we propose a novel conservative chaotic standard map-driven
dynamic DNA coding (encoding, addition, subtraction and decoding) for the image
encryption. The proposed image encryption algorithm is a dynamic DNA coding
algorithm i.e., for the encryption of each pixel different rules for encoding,
addition/subtraction, decoding etc. are randomly selected based on the
pseudorandom sequences generated with the help of the conservative chaotic
standard map. We propose a novel way to generate pseudo-random sequences
through the conservative chaotic standard map and also test them rigorously
through the most stringent test suite of pseudo-randomness, the NIST test
suite, before using them in the proposed image encryption algorithm. Our image
encryption algorithm incorporates a unique feed-forward and feedback mechanisms
to generate and modify the dynamic one-time pixels that are further used for
the encryption of each pixel of the plain image, therefore, bringing in the
desired sensitivity on plaintext as well as ciphertext. All the controlling
pseudorandom sequences used in the algorithm are generated for a different
value of the parameter (part of the secret key) with inter-dependency through
the iterates of the chaotic map (in the generation process) and therefore
possess extreme key sensitivity too. The performance and security analysis has
been executed extensively through histogram analysis, correlation analysis,
information entropy analysis, DNA sequence-based analysis, perceptual quality
analysis, key sensitivity analysis, plaintext sensitivity analysis, etc., The
results are promising and prove the robustness of the algorithm against various
common cryptanalytic attacks.Comment: 29 pages, 5 figures, 15 table

Entropy in Image Analysis II
Image analysis is a fundamental task for any application where extracting information from images is required. The analysis requires highly sophisticated numerical and analytical methods, particularly for those applications in medicine, security, and other fields where the results of the processing consist of data of vital importance. This fact is evident from all the articles composing the Special Issue "Entropy in Image Analysis II", in which the authors used widely tested methods to verify their results. In the process of reading the present volume, the reader will appreciate the richness of their methods and applications, in particular for medical imaging and image security, and a remarkable cross-fertilization among the proposed research areas
