A New Chaos and Permutation Based Algorithm for Image and Video Encryption
share
Images and video sequences carry large volumes of highly correlated and redundant data. Applications like military and telecommunication require encryption methods to protect the data from unwanted access. This requirement in most cases needs to be realized in real-time. In this paper, we propose a fast new Fiestal-structured approach for image and video encryption based on a chaotic random sequence generator and a Permutation-Inverse Permutation (PIP) pixel transform. This approach utilizes mathematical functions and transforms with low complexity. The algorithm at the same time, ensures no drastic pay off in terms of encryption quality. This renders the algorithm with promising scope for real time applications and easy hardware implementation. MATLAB simulation of the algorithm establishes its high quality of encryption in terms of elevated entropy values and negligible correlation of the encrypted data with the original. Simulation results also show high sensitivity to slight variation in keys ensuring high security.
