An image scrambling encryption using chaos-controlled Poker shuffle operation

Image scrambling is an important technique in digital image encryption and digital image watermarking. This paper presents a novel image scrambling method using Poker shuffle, which is controlled dynamically by chaotic system. Compared with other scrambling techniques such as algebraic permutations and chaotic permutations, the proposed method has properties of nonlinearity, non-analytic formula and large key space. Moreover, its scrambling performance is satisfied and can deal with non-square image. All these features show that the proposed method is more secure. and efficient for image scrambling encryption.
