Abstract

Nowadays, digital media usage over the internet has drastically increased; this has also generated the need to secure information. Several approaches have been adopted to implement the security of images. Researches have focused on chaotic functions to create different cryptography algorithms. Inspired by the researchers, we proposed a public key cryptosystem that combines the chaos tent map function with the Improved Salp swarm Optimization technique to encrypt and decrypt the images. Salp Swarm optimization algorithm is updated by applying crossover and mutation to generate a key for decryption. The encryption scheme includes a permutation and circular shift operation controlled by chaos-based key and control parameters. During the encryption process, an eight-bit shift register is used with XOR operation to enhance the unpredictability of cipher-image. The proposed scheme is evaluated for different parameters, experimental analysis shows the scheme is resistant to differential cryptoanalysis attack and entropy-based attacks.
