Secure image encryption algorithm design using a novel chaos based S-Box

Abstract

In this study, an encryption algorithm that uses chaos based S-BOX is developed for secure and speed image encryption. First of all, a new chaotic system is developed for creating S-Box and image encryption algorithm. Chaos based random number generator is designed with the help of the new chaotic system. Then, NIST tests are run on generated random numbers to verify randomness. A new S-Box design algorithm is developed to create the chaos based S-Box to be utilized in encryption algorithm and performance tests are made. As the next step, the new developed S-Box based image encryption algorithm is introduced in detail. Finally, image encryption application is carried out. To show the quality and strong of the encryption process, security analysis are performed. Proposed algorithm is compared with the AES and chaos algorithms. According to tests results, the proposed image encryption algorithm is secure and speed for image encryption application. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
