Color Image Encryption Using 2D Sine-Cosine Coupling Map

Abstract

In this paper, a new two-dimensional sine-cosine coupling chaos map(2D-SCCM) is proposed. The performance of the proposed two-dimensional chaotic system is analysed by using trajectory distribution maps, Lyapunov exponents, sample entropy and sequence sensitivity, etc. The results show that the 2D-SCCM has better randomness and ergodicity, as well as a wider hyperchaotic range than the existing partial two-dimensional chaos maps. To verify its application in practice, a 2D-SCCM-based color image encryption algorithm is proposed. First, the plain image is used to combine with hash function to generate the key. Then, we construct S-Boxes using the random sequence generated by 2D-SCCM combined with Arnold map. Finally, a color image encryption algorithm is proposed by using the constructed S-Boxes and the chaotic map combined with hash function. Experimental simulations and security tests show that the proposed encryption algorithm has high encryption efficiency and strong security, and can effectively protect images from various attacks.
