A RGB image encryption algorithm based on Archimedes optimizer, chaos and DNA
This paper introduces an innovative method for encrypting images, skillfully combining a modified logistic map (MLM), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and the Archimedean optimization algorithm (AO). The resulting system is divided into three essential phases, each playing a distinct role: a permutation phase using the modified logistics map, a diffusion phase using DNA, and finally, an optimization phase incorporating AO. In the optimization phase, the AO is successfully deployed to determine the optimal sequence of masks for image encryption. A notable feature of this a
