image encryption

This paper presents research on a proposed project involving image encryption using a chaotic-based cryptosystem.  The purpose is to create an image encryption environment with additional features derived from chaos theory.  This cryptosystem applies the element of uncertainty and sensitivity to initial conditions.  The encryption uses a symmetric key; generating a key is based on a chaotic map — a nonlinear mathematical function that exhibits uncertainty and randomness based on initial values.

In the past few years, to store and transmit image data securely, numerous research initiatives on image encoding have been conducted.  The primary objective of the image encryption technique is to safeguard the image by sabotaging the pixel pattern.
