Abstract
In this study, a novel Improved Affine Algorithm (IAA) for color image encryption is proposed. Affine Algorithm (AA) is generally known as an algorithm used for plain text encryption. In the proposed IAA algorithm, Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR), XOR encryption, and the AA are combined for color images encryption. The plane image is firstly split into three channels: R, G, and B. The RGB channel image is encrypted using AA encryption with ten keys based on pixel locations and pixel values. The rows and columns of the image are encrypted with LFSR keys and XOR encryption procedures. Finally, the proposed algorithm is tested in Matlab environment to obtain the Histogram, Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Unified Average Changing Intensity (UACI), Number of Pixel Change Rate (NPCR), and Entropy analyses. The values are compared with other algorithms. The results show that the proposed image encryption algorithm is secure and powerful, outperforming other algorithms.
