A Chaotic Image Encryption Algorithm Based on a Dynamical Feedback Operation

Abstract

This paper designs an image encryption algorithm with a dynamical feedback operation based on sensitive chaotic system. In the proposed algorithm, the piece wise linear chaotic map is selected to construct pseudo-random keystream sequences. The pseudorandom keystream sequences are used to permute and substitute the plain image data. To enhance the complexity and security of the algorithm, each pixel is dynamically confused by its two previous adjacent encrypted pixels which are specified by a quantized binary tuple derived from a chaotic element. Both theoretical analysis and experimental tests show that the proposed algorithm is secure and efficient.
