Abstract

With the rapid development of the Internet, there is a pressing requirement for data security protection in Internet. However, in some applications, resource constrained devices in Internet requires that the algorithm for data encryption have high reliability and availability, as well as extremely low latency, and strong robustness in harsh environment. In this work, we propose an efficient batch images encryption/decryption scheme based on DNA encoding and piecewise linear chaotic mapping system (PWLCM). Different from all existing methods, the proposed method can encrypt/decrypt any number of images with different sizes via only single encryption computation, and the computing cost is equivalent to that of encrypting a single image. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method has strong robustness to resist the interference of harsh environment, such as noise contamination, JPEG compression, and image content loss. We also investigate the computing cost, encryption effect and the security. Comparing with the state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method has high encryption efficiency, stronger robustness and security.
