Abstract

Various chaos-based image encryption schemes have been proposed in last few years. The proposed image encryption method uses chaotic map. The encryption is done by using 256 bit long external secret key. The initial condition for the chaotic mapping is evaluated by the use of external secret key along with the mapping function. Besides that, the proposed method is made more robust by applying multiple operations to the pixels of the image depending on the outcome of the calculation of the logistic map. Moreover, block shuffling of the image and modifying the secret key after encryption of each row is also done to add chaos to the proposed method.
