Chaos Based Stego Color Image Encryption

Abstract

Intensive studies have been done to get robust encryption algorithms. Due to the importance of image information, image encryption has become played a vital rule in information security. Many image encryption schemes have been proposed but most of them suffer from poor robustness against severe types of attacks. In this paper two proposed techniques will be presented for color image encryption to be robust to severe attacks: composite attack. One of these approaches is represented by hybrid use of both steganography and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) based encryption and the other one in which Fractional Fast Fourier Transform (FRFFT) has been used with DWT. Not only new techniques will be presented but also a new chaotic map has been used as random keys for both algorithms. After extensive comparative study with some traditional techniques, it has been found that the proposed algorithms have achieved better performance.
