Increasing information transmission in public networks raises a significant number of questions. For example, the security, the confidentiality, the integrity and the authenticity of the data during its transmission are very problematical. So, encryption of the transmitted data is one of the most promising solutions. In our work, we focus on the security of image data, which are considered as specific data because of their big size and their information which are of two-dimensional nature and also redundant. These data characteristics make the developed algorithms in the literature unavailable in their classical forms, because of the speed and the possible risk of information loss. In this paper, we develop an original ''images encryption'' algorithm based on evolutionary algorithms. The appropriateness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated by the sensitivity to images, the key and the resistibility to various advanced attacks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
