In recent years, there has been growing interesting in image encryption based on chaotic maps and wavelet transform. In this paper, a novel scheme for image encryption based on chaotic maps and reversible integer wavelet transform is proposed. Firstly, the cipher key which is related to plain-image is used to generate different parameters and initial values of chaotic maps. Then the plain-image is permuted by the order from chaotic maps, and processed by integer wavelet transform. A part of transform coefficient is diffused by the orbits of chaotic maps. Finally, the cipher image is obtained by inverse integer wavelet transform based on the diffused coefficient. Numerical experimental results and comparing with previous works show that the proposed scheme possesses higher security than previous works, which is suitable for protecting the image information.

Abstract: A novel couple images encryption algorithm based on DNA subsequence operation and chaotic system is presented. Different from the traditional DNA encryption methods, our algorithm is not use complex biological operation, but just uses the idea of DNA subsequence operation (such as elongation operation, truncation operation, and deletion operation). And then, do the DNA addition operation under the Chen's Hyper-chaotic map in this image cipher. The simulation experimental results and security analysis show that our algorithm not only has good encryption effect, but also has the ability of resisting exhaustive attack and statistical attack.

Biotechnological and biomolecular advances have introduced novel uses for DNA such as DNA computing, storage, and encryption. For these applications, DNA sequence design requires maximal desired (and minimal undesired) hybridizations, which are the product of a single new DNA strand from 2 single DNA strands. Here, we propose a novel constraint to design DNA sequences based on thermodynamic properties. Existing constraints for DNA design are based on the Hamming distance, a constraint that does not address the thermodynamic properties of the DNA sequence. Using a unique, improved genetic algorithm, we designed DNA sequence sets which satisfy different distance constraints and employ a free energy gap based on a minimum free energy (MFE) to gauge DNA sequences based on set thermodynamic properties. When compared to the best constraints of the Hamming distance, our method yielded better thermodynamic qualities. We then used our improved genetic algorithm to obtain lower-bound DNA sequence sets. Here, we discuss the effects of novel constraint parameters on the free energy gap. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: In recent years, the studies of chaos-based image encryption have become an important aspect of the security of image transmission. So far, a large amount of chaotic maps have been used in image encryption with the permutation–diffusion architecture, such as logistic map, cat map, tent map and so on. In this paper, a defect of designing an image cryptosystem based on logistic map is proposed. According to the cryptanalysis of the defect, the initial value of logistic which is used to encrypt plain-image can be deduced by the decreased key space, when the parameter of logistic map is given. Finally, the theoretical analysis and numerical experimental results show that the defect could be used to break the image cryptosystem based on logistic map. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: New image encryption based on DNA encoding combined with chaotic system is proposed. The algorithm uses chaotic system to disturb the pixel locations and pixel values and then DNA encodings according to quaternary code rules are carried out. The pseudo DNA operations are controlled by the quaternary chaotic sequences. At last the image encryption through DNA decoding is achieved. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the algorithm improves the encoding efficiency, enhances the security of the ciphertext, has a large key space and a high key sensitivity, it is able to resist the statistical and exhaustive attacks.

Abstract: A new image fusion encryption algorithm based on image fusion and DNA sequence operation and hyper-chaotic system is presented. Firstly, two DNA sequences matrices are obtained by encoding the original image and the key image. Secondly, using the chaotic sequences generated by Chen's hyper-chaotic maps to scramble the locations of elements from the DNA sequence matrix which generated form original image. Thirdly, XOR the scrambled DNA matrix and the random DNA matrix by using DNA sequence addition operation. At last, decoding the DNA sequence matrix, we will get the encrypted image. The simulation experimental results and security analysis show that our algorithm not only has good encryption effect, but also has the ability of resisting exhaustive attack and statistical attack.

Abstract: A new image encryption scheme based on DNA sequence addition operation and chaos is presented. First, a DNA sequence matrix is obtained by encoding the original image, then, divide the DNA sequence matrix into some equal blocks and use the DNA sequence addition operation to add these blocks. Next, perform the DNA sequence complement operation to the result of the added matrix by using two Logistic maps. Finally, decode the DNA sequence matrix from the third step, and we can get the encrypted image. The simulation experimental results and security analysis show that our scheme not only can achieve good encryption, but can also resist exhaustive attack, statistical attack and differential attack.

Due to the efficient and secure requirements of image transmission, a number of research works have been done to encrypt the compressed image. Inspired by the arithmetic coding and chaotic map which are used to compress and encrypt image, respectively. In this paper, a scheme is proposed to encrypt the compressed image by chaotic map and arithmetic coding. This scheme compresses the image row by row which is firstly permuted by two logistic maps before arithmetic coding. It not only enhances the security of arithmetic coding, but also improves the compression ratio. To further improve the security of binary data which has been compressed, we use the chaotic maps to encrypt the data, and set different parameters and initial value for chaotic maps. In order to possess high sensitivities of key and plain-image, the keys that are employed to determine the parameter and initial value of chaotic maps are related to the plain-image. The experimental results validate the effect of the proposed scheme and demonstrate that the compressed and encrypted image is secure and convenient for transmission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
