Image encryption based on quantum chaotic map and FSM transforms

We introduce the concept of quantum chaos encryption and submit a new method of chaos encryption. The new encryption scheme has a simple form and strong security and its performance characteristics remain very good. The experimental results demonstrated that the key space is large enough to resist the attacks and the distribution of grey values of the encrypted image has a random-like behavior, which makes it a potential candidate for encrypting multimedia data such as images, audio and even videos.
