Abstract

Multimedia data is crucial in the military, medical, forensics, social, etc., to transmit a large amount of data. Security of this sensitive information is the primary issue. This paper uses Latin square and machine learning techniques such as neural networks and genetic algorithm to design an image encryption algorithm. A new neural network-based pseudorandom number generator is proposed to generate a chaotic sequence for various applications. Encryption key images are designed using Latin squares in the finite field. Further, the Latin squares are XOR with the input matrix to get the encrypted images. The proposed algorithm is iterated a finite number of times to generate a cipher image population. Randomly two parents are chosen from the generated population, and row and column arrangements produce offspring. A genetic algorithm is the optimization technique used for the best encrypted image search. The pixel correlation value serves as a fitness function. Finally, the least correlated cipher image is obtained from the genetic algorithm applied to the parent and offspring of the population generated from the encryption algorithm. The simulation results from the proposed image encryption model surpass many communication channel attacks and perform better when compared to existing image security algorithms.
