Image Encryption Using Chaotic Cat Mapping in the Discrete Fourier Transform

Abstract

The paper presents an secure image using the two dimensional chaotic cat mapping (2D-CCM) in the Discrete Fourier Transform domain (DFT). The ciphering phase begins by applying the DFT on the plainimage to be encrypted and the resulted Fourier transformed image are scrambled using the 2D-CCM and finally an inverse DFT is applied to obtain the final encrypted image. The decryption phase applies a reverse procedure to get the original plainimage. A set of encryption test experiments are employed to inspect the proposed DFT based 2D-CCM image cryptosystem. The experimental results verified and confirmed the superiority of the proposed DFT based 2D-CCM image cryptosystem.

“…The ability to transform information into a form that makes reading without the right key is almost impossible. The key is used to allow selected people to have managed access to the information [38]. Anyone can have the information, but the data can only be accessed by people with the right password.…”
