DNA key based visual chaotic image encryption

With the exponential growth of Internet technologies, digital information exchanged over the Internet is also significantly increased. In order to ensure the security of multimedia contents over the open natured Internet, data should be encrypted. In this paper, the quantum chaotic map is utilized for random vectors generation. Initial conditions for the chaos map are computed from a DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) sequence along with plaintext image through Secure Hash Algorithm-512 (SHA-512). The first two random vectors break the correlation among pixels of the original plaintext image via row and column permutation, respectively. For the diffusion characteristics, the permuted image is bitwise XORed with a random matrix generated through the third random vectors. The diffused image is divided into Least Significant Bit (LSB) and Most Significant Bits (MSBs) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is applied to the carrier image. The HL and HH blocks of the carrier image are replaced with LSBs and MSBs of the diffused image for the generation of a visually encrypted image. The detailed theoretical analysis and experimental simulation of the designed scheme show that the proposed encryption algorithm is highly secured. Efficiency and robustness of the proposed visually image encryption scheme is also verified via a number of attack analyses, i.e., sensitivity attack analysis (> 99%), differential attack analysis (NPCR > 99, UACI > 33), brute force attack (almost 7.9892), statistical attack (correlation coefficient values are almost 0 or less than zero), noise tolerance, and cropping attack. Further security analyses such as encryption quality (ID ≅ 1564, DH = 3.000), homogeneity (0.3798), contrast (10.4820) and energy (0.0144) of the scheme are also evaluated

DNA and Plaintext Dependent Chaotic Visual Selective Image Encryption

Visual selective image encryption can both improve the efficiency of the image encryption algorithm and reduce the frequency and severity of attacks against data. In this article, a new form of encryption is proposed based on keys derived from Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) and plaintext image. The proposed scheme results in chaotic visual selective encryption of image data. In order to make and ensure that this new scheme is robust and secure against various kinds of attacks, the initial conditions of the chaotic maps utilized are generated from a random DNA sequence as well as plaintext image via an SHA-512 hash function. To increase the key space, three different single dimension chaotic maps are used. In the proposed scheme, these maps introduce diffusion in a plain image by selecting a block that have greater correlation and then it is bitwise XORed with the random matrix. The other two chaotic maps break the correlation among adjacent pixels via confusion (row and column shuffling). Once the ciphertext image has been divided into the respective units of Most Significant Bits (MSBs) and Least Significant Bit (LSBs), the host image is passed through lifting wavelet transformation, which replaces the low-frequency blocks of the host image (i.e., HL and HH) with the aforementioned MSBs and LSBs of ciphertext. This produces a final visual selective encrypted image and all security measures proves the robustness of the proposed scheme

Analysis Performance of Fast Image Encryption

Perkembangan teknologi mengakibatkan peningkatan kebutuhan pengiriman data melalui media internet. Banyak pengiriman data yang membutuhkan keamanan dalam pengirimannya untuk berbagai keperluan. Enkripsi data merupakan salah satu topic pengamanan yang banyak dilakukan penelitian dengan tujuan untuk mengamankan data yang dikirimkan melalui media internet. Salah satu data yang banyak digunakan adalah data citra. Citra merupakan data yang memiliki kapasitas besar dan memiliki sifat Perulangan yang tinggi sehingga dibutuhkan metode tertentu untuk melakukan proses enkripsi dan dekripsi citra. Permutasi dan difusi merupakan cara yang banyak digunakan untuk melakukan enkripsi citra. Permutasi bertujuan untuk mengacak posisi citra sedangkan difusi merubah nilai citra. Permutasi dan difusi banyak dilakukan sebagai dua tahap yang berbeda sehingga dibutuhkan dua kali pembacaan citra. Sebuah algoritma untuk menggabungkan proses permutasi dan difusi sehingga hanya diperlukan satu kali pembacaan citra untuk melakukan enkripsi telah diajukan. Selain permutasi dan difusi, fungsi chaos juga digunakan dalam algoritma tersebut karena kemampuannya untuk menghasilkan angka random yang sangat sensitif terhadap beberapa parameter. Dengan ide demikian, algoritma akan cepat untuk melakukan proses enkripsi dan dekripsi. Dalam penelitian ini dianalisis kinerja algoritma gabungan permutasi dan difusi menggunakan fungsi chaos. Analisis dilakukan dengan mengimplementasikan algoritma, mendapatkan waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk proses enkripsi dan dekripsi serta membandingkannnya dengan algoritma baku yang telah banyak digunakan, Advanced Encryption Standart (AES)

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
