A Chaotic Confusion-Diffusion Image Encryption Based on Henon Map

Ashraf Afifi, Taif University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Abstract

This paper suggests chaotic confusion-diffusion image encryption based on the Henon map. The proposed chaotic confusion-diffusion image encryption utilizes image confusion and pixel diffusion in two levels. In the first level, the plainimage is scrambled by a modified Henon map for n rounds. In the second level, the scrambled image is diffused using Henon chaotic map. Comparison between the logistic map and modified Henon map is established to investigate the effectiveness of the suggested chaotic confusion-diffusion image encryption scheme. Experimental results showed that the suggested chaotic confusion-diffusion image encryption scheme can successfully encrypt/decrypt images using the same secret keys. Simulation results confirmed that the ciphered images have good entropy information and low correlation between coefficients. Besides the distribution of the gray values in the ciphered image has random-like behavior.
