Image encryption algorithm based on inter-perturbation of dual chaotic systems

Abstract

An image encryption algorithm based on inter-perturbations of dual chaotic systems was proposed for the possible degradation of low-dimensional chaotic system and the high computing work of high-dimensional chaotic system. Dual chaotic system was constructed through inter-perturbations of two simple Logistic mappings. And the most prominent feature of inter-perturbations between chaotic systems was that perturbation included constant perturbation and random perturbation simultaneously,which not only ensured the necessary system complexity,but also increased the range of system parameters. Taking dual chaotic inter-perturbed system as sequence key generator,an improved quantization method for converting chaotic sequence to binary sequence was put forward. Random testing and correlation analysis were done on binary sequence. The results show that the binary sequence has good pseudo-randomness and correlation,and appropriate to be encryption key. Simulation results of image encryption applied with the binary sequence also show that the binary sequence can cover up plaintext effectively and safely,and good encryption results are achieved.
