Color Image Encryption using Chaotic Algorithm and 2D Sin-Cos Henon Map for High Security

Abstract

In every form of electronic communication, data security must be an absolute top priority. As the prevalence of Internet and other forms of electronic communication continues to expand, so too does the need for visual content. There are numerous options for protecting transmitted data. It's important that the transmission of hidden messages in images remain unnoticed to avoid raising any red flags. In this paper, we propose a new deep learning-based image encryption algorithm for safe image retrieval. The proposed algorithm employs a deep artificial neural network model to extract features via sample training, allowing for more secure image network transmission. The algorithm is incorporated into a deep learning-based image retrieval process with Convolution Neural Networks(CNN), improving the efficiency of retrieval while also guaranteeing the security of ciphertext images. Experiments conducted on five different datasets demonstrate that the proposed algorithm vastly improves retrieval efficiency and strengthens data security. Also hypothesised a 2D Sin-Cos-Henon (2D-SCH)-based encryption algorithm for highly secure colour images. We demonstrate that this algorithm is secure against a variety of attacks and that it can encrypt all three colour channels of an image simultaneously.
