This paper investigates properties of synchronization of trigonometric coupled maps. These maps have some advantages, such as an invariant measure, ergodicity and the possibility of Kolmogorov-Sinai (KS) entropy calculation. Moreover, an encryption algorithm based on a synchronized coupled map is suggested and described in detail. Also, some security analyses are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. The cryptosystem's speed is analyzed as well. Results of the various types of analysis are encouraging and it can be concluded that the proposed image encryption technique is a suitable choice for practical applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
