Abstract
This paper introduces a new fast image encryption scheme based on a chaotic system and cyclic shift in the integer wavelet domain. In order to increase the effectiveness and security of encryption, we propose a new diffusion scheme by using bidirectional diffusion and cyclic shift and apply it to our encryption scheme. First, a two-level integer wavelet transform is used to split the plaintext picture into four low-frequency components. Second, we use random sequences generated by Chen’s hyper-chaotic system to scramble four low-frequency components. The initial value is determined by Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit (SHA256) and user-defined parameters, which increases the plaintext sensitivity. Then, the new diffusion scheme is applied to the matrix containing most of the information and matrices are transformed by a one-level inverse integer wavelet. Finally, to create the ciphertext image, the diffused matrices are subjected to the one-level inverse integer wavelet transform. In the simulation part, we examine the suggested algorithm’s encryption impact. The findings demonstrate that the suggested technique has a sufficient key space and can successfully fend off common attacks.
