An efficient confidentiality scheme based on quadratic chaotic map and Fibonacci sequence

Abstract

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, secure data transmission and exchange are crucial for protecting sensitive information across personal, financial, and global infrastructures. Traditional cryptographic algorithms like RSA and AES face increasing challenges due to the rise of quantum computing and enhanced computational power, necessitating innovative approaches for data security. We explored a novel encryption scheme leveraging the quadratic chaotic map (QCM) integrated with the Fibonacci sequence, addressing key sensitivity, periodicity, and computational efficiency. By employing chaotic systems' inherent unpredictability and sensitivity to initial conditions, the proposed method generates highly secure and unpredictable ciphers suitable for text and image encryption. We incorporated a combined sequence from the Fibonacci sequence and QCM, providing enhanced complexity and security. Comprehensive experimental analyses, including noise and occlusion attack simulations, demonstrate the scheme's robustness, resilience, and practicality. The results indicated that the proposed encryption framework offers a secure, efficient, and adaptable solution for digital data protection against modern computational threats.
