Abstract

In this paper, a new image alternative encryption algorithm is proposed, in which the shuffling and diffusion are performed simultaneously. The plain image is divided into two left and right blocks of same size. The matrix which is generated by a logistic map is used to diffuse the left block of the plain image. Then, the diffused image is used as the right block of the cipher image. The 0, 1 sequence which comes from another logistic chaotic sequence and plaintext is used to shuffle the right block of the cipher image. After the operation XOR, the left block of cipher image is generated. Finally, two new-generated blocks are merged into the cipher image. In order to get better effect for image encryption, this process can be repeated many rounds. The simulation results show that this algorithm has properties of big key space, high sensitivity to key, resisting statistical analysis, differential attacks, plaintext attacks, and chosen-plaintext attacks. So, it has high security and can be suitable for image encryption.
