A low-time-consumption image encryption combining 2D parametric Pascal matrix chaotic system and elementary operation

Abstract

The rapid development of the big data era has resulted in traditional image encryption algorithms consuming more time in handling the huge amount of data. The consumption of time cost needs to be reduced while ensuring the security of encryption algorithms. With this in mind, the paper proposes a low-time-consumption image encryption (LTC-IE) combining 2D parametric Pascal matrix chaotic system (2D-PPMCS) and elementary operation. First, the 2D-PPMCS with robustness and complex chaotic behavior is adopted. Second, the SHA-256 hash values are applied to the chaotic sequences generated by 2D-PPMCS, which are processed and applied to image permutation and diffusion encryption. In the permutation stage, the pixel matrix is permutation encrypted based on the permutation matrix generated from the chaotic sequences. For diffusion encryption, elementary operations are utilized to construct the model, such as exclusive or, modulo, and arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). After analyzing the security experiments, the LTC-IE algorithm ensures security and robustness while reducing the time cost consumption.
