Image encryption is essential for protecting sensitive visual data during transmission and storage. This article introduces a novel image encryption technique that utilizes three hyperchaotic systems: a memristor system, a hyperchaotic 7D system, and an Erbium-doped fiber laser-based system. The algorithm takes advantage of the complex dynamics and random-like behavior of these systems to implement a robust three-layer encryption process. In each layer, a pseudo-random number generator is used to construct an S-box and an encryption key, which are subsequently applied to the image data. The proposed encryption scheme is implemented in software using Wolfram Mathematica® version 13.1 and in hardware using an AMD Virtex-7 FPGA VC707, achieving encryption rates of 9.7 Mbps and 0.67 Gbps, respectively. Experimental results demonstrate the scheme’s effectiveness in terms of encryption quality, resistance to various cryptanalysis attacks, and a high computational efficiency. The proposed method shows significant potential for secure image transmission and storage applications.
