Robust Chaos-Based Medical Image Cryptosystem
Authors: , ,
Abstract: In In this paper, we propose an efficient cryptosystem for medical images. While the confusion stage is ensured by an Arnold's cat map allowing the permutation of pixels; the diffusion stage is alleviated by an improved logistic map used by the chaotic key-based algorithm (CKBA). The simulation results attest that the proposed algorithm has superior security and enables efficient encryption/decryption of medical images. Performances were evaluated by several security analyses: the NPCR and UACI are improved over 99.60% and 33.46% respectively, and entropy is reported close to 7.8. What makes this new cipher much stronger security.
