It is critical to safeguard confidential data, especially secret and private messages. This study introduces a novel data cryptography approach. The new approach will be capable of encrypting and decrypting any communication size. The suggested approach will use a sophisticated private key with a convoluted structure. The private key will have 5 components with a double data type to prevent guessing or hacking. The confidential data will produce two secret keys, the first of which will be taken from the image key. These keys will be vulnerable to slight changes in private key information. To maximize the approach's efficiency, the suggested method will deal with lengthy messages by splitting them into chunks. On the other hand, the chaotic logistic map model will be used to create the second key. The suggested technique will be implemented, and several sorts of analysis (sensitivity, quality, security, and speed analysis) will be undertaken to demonstrate the benefits of the proposed method. The quality metrics MSE, PSNR, and CC will be computed to validate the suggested method's quality. To illustrate the efficiency of the proposed technique, encryption and decryption times will be measured, and cryptography throughputs will be determined. Various PKs will be tried throughout the decryption process to demonstrate how sensitive the produced outputs are to changes in the private key. The suggested approach will be tested, and the results will be compared to the results of existing methods to demonstrate the improvement offered by the proposed method.
