A NOVEL CHAOTIC IMAGE ENCRYPTION SCHEME BASED ON MAGIC CUBE PERMUTATION AND DYNAMIC LOOK-UP TABLE

This paper puts forward a novel image encryption algorithm that is based on permutation-diffusion architecture. In pixels' permutation stage, algorithm takes full advantage of the idea of magic cube's scrambling. There is only simple cyclic shift operation in each sub-block's permutation, but when the algorithm has disposed the current sub-block, the adjacent sub-blocks will be dealt with, too. In the cyclic shift of each row, stable points will help to decrease the correlation of adjacent pixels. To make encryption procedure uncertain, this paper brings in a parameter named delay-time that is generated by chaotic map. In the diffusion stage, by combining multiple operations and dynamic look-up table together, the proposed algorithm highly increases the uncertainty of the encryption procedure. At last, the experiment results of key space analysis, information entropy analysis, histogram analysis and etc. show that the encryption algorithm has well performance and it can be used in image encryption and transmission.
