Abstract

A novel image cryptographic scheme is introduced in this paper. The proposed method incorporates two modules: confusion module and diffusion module. A dynamic key, changed for every input image is generated, and employed as a base to produce sub-keys in both confusion and diffusion mechanisms. This dynamics conducted to random-like key-generation, rendered the cryptographic scheme with dynamic encryption structure, and hence only one round is needed to achieve good combination between efficient time-consuming and sufficient security. In the confusion module, pixels’ positions are non-linearly first forwardly permuted and then backwardly permuted, without changing their values, aiming to de-correlate the relations among neighboring pixels. In the diffusion module, pixels’ values are changed, firstly discrete dynamical system with delay defined by non-linear boolean function is employed, in which each pixel value is non-linearly modified to achieve the mixing effect of pixel value and introduce more the non-linearity property, and then memory reversible two-dimensional cellular automata is performed, in which each pixel value is sequentially modified to further attain high diffusion mechanism. We have conducted the most important experiments to assess the effectiveness of the proposed cryptographic scheme. The obtained results are interesting in terms of security degrees and time-consuming, and point to the advocacy of proposal and its suitability to be a good encryption candidate for constrained environments.
