This paper analyzes the security of image encryption systems based on bit plane extraction and multi chaos. It includes a bit-level permutation for high, 4-bit planes and bit-wise XOR diffusion, and finds that the key streams in the permutation and diffusion phases are independent of the plaintext image. Therefore, the equivalent diffusion key and the equivalent permutation key can be recovered by the chosen-plaintext attack method, in which only two special plaintext images and their corresponding cipher images are used. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed attack algorithm is verified by a MATLAB 2015b simulation. In the experiment, all the key streams in the original algorithm are cracked through two special plaintext images and their corresponding ciphertext images. In addition, an improved algorithm is proposed. In the improved algorithm, the generation of a random sequence is related to ciphertext, which makes the encryption algorithm have the encryption effect of a “one time pad”. The encryption effect of the improved algorithm is better than that of the original encryption algorithm in the aspects of information entropy, ciphertext correlation analysis and ciphertext sensitivity analysis.

In this paper, the security analysis of a color image encryption algorithm based on Hopfield chaotic neural network is given. The original chaotic image encryption algorithm includes permutation encryption and diffusion encryption. The result of cryptanalysis shows that the chaotic sequences generated by this algorithm are independent of plaintext image, and there exist equivalent permutation key and equivalent diffusion key. Therefore, according to chosen-plaintext attack, the equivalent diffusion key and the equivalent permutation key can be obtained by choosing two special plaintext images and the corresponding ciphertext images, respectively, and the plaintext image is further recovered from the ciphertext image. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation experiment results verify the effectiveness of the analytical method. Finally, some improved suggestions for the original encryption algorithm are proposed to promote the security.

In this paper, a new chaotic image encryption algorithm based on pseudo-random bit sequence and DNA plane is proposed. The coupled map lattice (CML) is applied to design a pseudo-random bit sequence generation (PBSG) system and use the system to generate the random sequence needed in the encryption process. The initial values and parameters of the system are generated by the SHA-256 hash algorithm combined with given keys. Firstly, the plane image is decomposed into four DNA planes in combination with the DNA encoding rules, and then the four DNA planes are subjected to row circular permutation and column circular permutation. After that, the diffusion operation on each DNA plane is performed. Finally, the four DNA planes are decoded and then combined into a pixel matrix, that is, the final cipher image is obtained. Throughout the encryption process, the choice of DNA encoding and decoding rules is determined by the PBSG system. Simulation results and security analysis show that the algorithm not only has good encryption effect, but also can resist various classic attacks, and has excellent security performance.

A selective bit-plane encryption scheme was proposed for securing the transmission of image data in mobile environments with a claim that it provides a high security viz. the encryption of the four most significant bit-planes is sufficient for a high image data security. This paper presents the security analysis of the said encryption scheme and reports new important results. We perform the security analysis of the bit-level encryption by considering the normal images and their histogram equalised enhanced images. We consider different bit-plane aspects to analyse the security of the image encryption, and show that the encryption of the four most significant bit-planes is not adequate. The contents of the images can be obtained even when all the bit-planes except one least significant bit-plane are encrypted in the histogram equalised images as shown in the results. The bit-plane level security analysis seems very useful for the analysis of the bit-plane level image encryption schemes.

Background & Objective: Digital multimedia exchange between different mobile communication devices has increased rapidly with the invention of the high-speed data services like LTE-A, LTE, and WiMAX. However, there are always certain security risks associated with the use of wireless communication technologies. Methods: To protect the digital images against cryptographic attacks different image encryption algorithms are being employed in the wireless communication networks. These algorithms use comparatively less key spaces and accordingly offer inadequate security. The proposed algorithm described in this paper based on Rubik’s cube principle because of its high confusion and diffusion properties, Arnold function having effective scrambling power, blocking cipher with block encryption and permutation powers. The main strength of the proposed algorithm lies in the large key spaces and the combination of different high power encryption techniques at each stage of algorithm. The different operations employed on the image are with four security keys of different key spaces at multiple stages of the algorithm. Results & Conclusion: Finally, the effectiveness and the security analysis results shows that the proposed image encryption algorithm attains high encryption and security capabilities along with high resistance against cryptanalytic attacks, differential attacks and statistical attacks.

To prevent the leakage of image content, image encryption technology has received increasing attention. Most current algorithms are only suitable for the images of certain types and cannot update keys in a timely manner. To tackle such problems, we propose an adaptive chaotic image encryption algorithm based on RNA and pixel depth. Firstly, a novel chaotic system, two-dimensional improved Logistic-adjusted-Sine map is designed. Then, we propose a three-dimensional adaptive Arnold transform for scrambling. Secondly, keys are generated by the hash values of the plain image and current time to achieve one-image, one-key, and one-time pad simultaneously. Thirdly, we build a pre-permuted RNA cube for 3D adaptive scrambling by pixel depth, chaotic sequences, and adaptive RNA coding. Finally, selective diffusion combined with pixel depth and RNA operations is performed, in which the RNA operators are determined by the chemical structure and properties of amino acids. Pixel depth is integrated into the whole procedure of parameter generation, scrambling, and diffusion. Experiments and algorithm analyses show that our algorithm has strong security, desirable performance, and a broader scope of application.

AbstractIn this paper, a novel image encryption algorithm based on the Once Forward Long Short Term Memory Structure (OF-LSTMS) and the Two-Dimensional Coupled Map Lattice (2DCML) fractional-order chaotic system is proposed. The original image is divided into several image blocks, each of which is input into the OF-LSTMS as a pixel sub-sequence. According to the chaotic sequences generated by the 2DCML fractional-order chaotic system, the parameters of the input gate, output gate and memory unit of the OF-LSTMS are initialized, and the pixel positions are changed at the same time of changing the pixel values, achieving the synchronization of permutation and diffusion operations, which greatly improves the efficiency of image encryption and reduces the time consumption. In addition the 2DCML fractional-order chaotic system has better chaotic ergodicity and the values of chaotic sequences are larger than the traditional chaotic system. Therefore, it is very suitable to image encryption. Many simulation results show that the proposed scheme has higher security and efficiency comparing with previous schemes.

Abstract In this paper, a memristive Hopfield neural network with a special activation gradient (MHNN) is proposed by adding a suitable memristor to the Hopfield neural network (HNN) with a special activation gradient. The MHNN is simulated and dynamic analyzed, and implemented on FPGA. Then, a new pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) based on MHNN is proposed. The post-processing unit of the PRNG is composed of nonlinear post-processor and XOR calculator, which effectively ensures the randomness of PRNG. The experiments in this paper comply with the IEEE 754-1985 high precision 32-bit floating point standard and are done on the Vivado design tool using a Xilinx XC7Z020CLG400-2 FPGA chip and the Verilog-HDL hardware programming language. The random sequence generated by the PRNG proposed in this paper has passed the NIST SP800-22 test suite and security analysis, proving its randomness and high performance. Finally, an image encryption system based on PRNG is proposed and implemented on FPGA, which proves the value of the image encryption system in the field of data encryption connected to the Internet of Things (IoT).

In this paper, the authors propose an image encryption scheme based on the development of a Hénon chaotic map using fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) which is introduced to satisfy the necessity of high secure image. This proposed algorithm combines the main advantages of confusion and diffusion with (FRFT), it use Arnold Cat map for confusion and Hénon chaotic map or one of the proposed Hénon chaotic maps for diffusion. The proposed algorithm is compared with some image encryption algorithms based on Arnold Cat map, Baker chaotic map, Hénon chaotic map and RC6. The authors perform a comparison between them in several experimental tests as statistical analyses, processing time and security analysis. The authors find from these comparison tests that the proposed algorithm demonstrates good result even better than RC6 and other chaotic maps in some cases.

In this paper, an image encryption algorithm based on the H-fractal and dynamic self-invertible matrix is proposed. The H-fractal diffusion encryption method is firstly used in this encryption algorithm. This method crosses the pixels at both ends of the H-fractal, and it can enrich the means of pixel diffusion. The encryption algorithm we propose uses the Lorenz hyperchaotic system to generate pseudorandom sequences for pixel location scrambling and self-invertible matrix construction to scramble and diffuse images. To link the cipher image with the original image, the initial values of the Lorenz hyperchaotic system are determined using the original image, and it can enhance the security of the encryption algorithm. The security analysis shows that this algorithm is easy to implement. It has a large key space and strong key sensitivity and can effectively resist plaintext attacks.
