Abstract
To ensure the confidentiality of color images during their storage or transmission on insecure networks, a number of encryption methods based on fractional transforms have been proposed and widely investigated. However, most of their outputs are complex values that are inconvenient for record and transmission. Also, those methods always deal with a whole color component with the same fractional-order and ignore the textural features that are contained in different image parts. In this paper, we first define a reality-preserving multiple-parameter fractional Hartley transform (RPMPFRHT), whose output is real value, and then a novel color image encryption method is proposed that divides the RGB components into different blocks and uses a constructed pixel scrambling operator to mix and hide the original color information. The outputs are transformed to different RPMPFRHT domains and further scrambled by a non-adjacent coupled map lattices system. Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate that the proposed encryption algorithm is feasible, secure, sensitive to keys, and robust to potential attacks.
