An Image Encryption Technique based on Chaotic S-Box and Arnold Transform

Abstract

In recent years, chaos has been extensively used in cryptographic systems. In this regard, one dimensional chaotic maps gained increased attention because of their intrinsic simplicity and ease in application. Many image encryption algorithms that are based on chaotic substitution boxes (S-boxes) have been studied in the last few years but some of them appear to be vulnerable to robustness. We, in this paper, propose an efficient scheme for image encryption that utilizes a composition of chaotic substitution based on tent map with the scrambling effect of the Arnold transform. The proposed construction algorithm for substitution box is, on one hand, straightforward and saves omputational labour, while on the other, it provides highly efficient performance outcomes. The understudy scheme uses an S-box, that is based on 1-D chaotic tent map. We partially encrypt the image using this S-box and then apply certain number of iterations of the Arnold transform to attain the fully encrypted image. For decryption we apply the reverse process. The strength of the proposed method is determined through the most significant techniques used for the statistical analysis and it is proved that the anticipated algorithm shows coherent results.
