Abstract

Cryptography and steganography are usual methods for safe transfer of information, which encryption algorithms turn original images into unreadable noise-like images. This paper presents a novel symmetric cryptosystem designed for the transmission of RGB color images through open channels and our goal is to provide a secure cryptography algorithm against cropping and noise attacks. The encryption algorithm is based on a suitable 3D hybrid chaotic system, with high Lyapunov exponent value, leveraging the advantages of common chaos maps while addressing their inherent limitations. To further enhance security, a novel pixel shuffle operator is employed to eliminate any potential neighborhood relations between image pixels. The encryption process incorporates reversible second-order cellular automata, which are applied to the outputs of the chaotic system. Key generation is achieved through the utilization of irreversible cellular automata. The resulting key space is large enough to resist brute-force attacks and performs a high level of sensitivity. Experimental results, including analysis of histograms, entropies, and pixel correlations, confirm the effectiveness of the proposed image encryption scheme, and prove its resilient against statistical attacks and a remarkable resistance against data loss attacks.
