Abstract
In this paper, a color image encryption algorithm based on the fractional-order multi-scroll Chen chaotic system and DNA mutation principle is proposed. The dynamical performances of the fractional-order multi-scroll Chen chaotic system are analyzed by phase diagram, Lyapunov exponential spectrum and bifurcation diagram. Meanwhile, we realized the hardware circuit simulation of the chaotic system on the DSP platform. Based on comprehensive analysis, an image encryption algorithm is designed. In particular, a DNA algorithm with mutation effect has been introduced into the encryption algorithm. Finally, the performances of the designed encryption scheme are analyzed by key space, correlation coefficients, information entropy, histogram, differential attacks and robustness analysis. The experimental results prove that the algorithm has strong encryption capabilities and can withstand multiple decryption methods. The new color image encryption scheme proposed in this paper can realize the secure communication of digital images.
