Color image encryption via compressive sensing and chaotic systems

Abstract

In this paper, we design a color image encryption algorithm based on chaotic system and block compressive sensing. Firstly, the sparse representation of the plain-image is obtained by an adaptive learning dictionary. Secondly, the key streams are produced from two excellent low-dimensional chaotic maps, where updating the initial values and parameters rely on the SHA-384 and the input image. Thirdly, three measurement matrices of R, G, B components are constructed from the chaotic sequences, respectively. Finally, a random rows and columns diffusion method is performed on the encrypted image. Experimental results and safety analysis prove that the proposed scheme has excellent performance.
