A Chaotic Image Encryption Scheme Based on Magic Cube Transformation

The theory of chaos has been widely used for image encryption because of its excellent cryptography characteristics and intrinsic features of image. In this paper, a new image encryption scheme based on chaos is proposed. This new scheme using the principle of magic cube transformation to shuffle the position of image pixels and modify the pixel values with pseudorandom sequences generated by compound chaotic maps. The simulations results show that the image encrypted by this new scheme can not be recognized. Furthermore, the proposed scheme is secure against almost all kinds of attacks.
