Image Encryption using Chaotic Techniques: A Survey Study

Abstract

The sharing of information through unsecured networks like the internet has increased fast recently. This information could be text, audio, image, or video. The security of data transmission is an essential issue. Encryption is one of the most effective techniques to assure safe data transmission. Videos and Images size are very large and have a high correlation between neighboring pixels, so the classical encryption techniques such as RSA, DES, AES, etc., cannot be utilized for image encryption while chaotic image encryption schemes, which use a high level of unpredictability in key generation, can solve this problem. The chaos encryption main properties are pseudorandom number, sensitivity to initial conditions, and large key size. The goal of this study was to find the best chaotic map for picture encryption, this research looks into the use of chaos maps for image encryption, such as the Tent map, Logistic map, Sine map, and others. Arnold's Cat map, and also presents a comparison for their performance.
