An Image Encryption Scheme Based on High Dimension Chaos System

This paper proposes a Rossler chaos system based image encryption scheme, which improves the security and performance over the conventional simple chaos system based ones. The balance and correlation properties of the time sequences generated by Rossler system are analyzed and a pre-process scheme is proposed, which makes the key stream have good statistical properties. Three initial parameters of Rossler system are combined together as one key, which greatly enlarges the key space under precision restricted condition. The encryption speed is also improved since the position permutation and grayscale substitution to one pixel can be done by one iteration operation. Besides, the encryption system is strong against adaptive parameter synchronous attack since it has more complicated structure than simple chaos system based ones. The experimental results indicate that the proposed scheme is more secure and efficient than conventional ones.
