Abstract

Image encryption converts the images into unrecognizable forms that seems like a white noise. Digital Chaos has also emerged as one of the important technique to design secure and efficient image encryption schemes. The chaos theory possesses various desirable properties required for the encrypting images like initial state sensitivity, unpredictability and behavioural complexity. However, image encryption schemes suffer from vulnerabilities like differential attack, statistical, known/chosen plaintext attack, and brute force attack. This paper proposes a novel approach to generate a pseudorandom key. This pseudo random key is combined with Logistic map (LM), cosine transformed Logistic map (CTLM) and cosine transformed Logistic-Sine Map (CTLSM), one by one, to implement three secure and efficient methods for satellite image encryption. The scheme uses the 384-bit of share key to perform encryption during the process. The proposed approaches are tested for parameters such as Entropy, Correlation Coefficient (CC), Number of Changing Pixel Rate (NPCR), Unified Averaged Changed Intensity (UACI), Avalanche effect, Bit Correct Ratio (BCR) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR). The work also analyses the various cryptanalytic attacks on the proposed chaos and novel Pseudo random key combinations. The results show that the proposed pseudo random key and CTLSM combination outperforms the other two combinations, and is more efficient in resisting all type of attacks as well.
