文摘Elliptic curve(EC)based cryptosystems gained more attention due to enhanced security than the existing public key cryptosystems.A substitution box(S-box)plays a vital role in securing modern symmetric key cryptosystems.However,the recently developed EC based algorithms usually trade off between computational efficiency and security,necessitating the design of a new algorithm with the desired cryptographic strength.To address these shortcomings,this paper proposes a new scheme based onMordell elliptic curve(MEC)over the complex field for generating distinct,dynamic,and highly uncorrelated S-boxes.Furthermore,we count the exact number of the obtained S-boxes,and demonstrate that the permuted version of the presented S-box is statistically optimal.The nonsingularity of the presented algorithm and the injectivity of the resultant output are explored.Rigorous theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposedmethod is highly effective in generating a large number of dynamic S-boxes with adequate cryptographic properties,surpassing current state-of-the-art S-box generation algorithms in terms of security.Apart fromthis,the generated S-box is benchmarked using side-channel attacks,and its performance is compared with highly nonlinear S-boxes,demonstrating comparable results.In addition,we present an application of our proposed S-box generator by incorporating it into an image encryption technique.The encrypted and decrypted images are tested by employing extensive standard security metrics,including the Number of Pixel Change Rate,the Unified Average Changing Intensity,information entropy,correlation coefficient,and histogram analysis.Moreover,the analysis is extended beyond conventional metrics to validate the new method using advanced tests,such as the NIST statistical test suite,robustness analysis,and noise and cropping attacks.Experimental outcomes show that the presented algorithm strengthens the existing encryption scheme against various well-known cryptographic attacks.

文摘To improve the embedding capacity of reversible data hiding in encrypted images(RDH-EI),a new RDH-EI scheme is proposed based on adaptive quadtree partitioning and most significant bit(MSB)prediction.First,according to the smoothness of the image,the image is partitioned into blocks based on adaptive quadtree partitioning,and then blocks of different sizes are encrypted and scrambled at the block level to resist the analysis of the encrypted images.In the data embedding stage,the adaptive MSB prediction method proposed by Wang and He(2022)is improved by taking the upper-left pixel in the block as the target pixel,to predict other pixels to free up more embedding space.To the best of our knowledge,quadtree partitioning is first applied to RDH-EI.Simulation results show that the proposed method is reversible and separable,and that its average embedding capacity is improved.For gray images with a size of 512×512,the average embedding capacity is increased by 25565 bits.For all smooth images with improved embedding capacity,the average embedding capacity is increased by about 35530 bits.

文摘Reversible data hiding in encrypted images(RDHEI)is essential for safeguarding sensitive information within the encrypted domain.In this study,we propose an intelligent pixel predictor based on a residual group block and a spatial attention module,showing superior pixel prediction performance compared to existing predictors.Additionally,we introduce an adaptive joint coding method that leverages bit-plane characteristics and intra-block pixel correlations to maximize embedding space,outperforming single coding approaches.The image owner employs the presented intelligent predictor to forecast the original image,followed by encryption through additive secret sharing before conveying the encrypted image to data hiders.Subsequently,data hiders encrypt secret data and embed them within the encrypted image before transmitting the image to the receiver.The receiver can extract secret data and recover the original image losslessly,with the processes of data extraction and image recovery being separable.Our innovative approach combines an intelligent predictor with additive secret sharing,achieving reversible data embedding and extraction while ensuring security and lossless recovery.Experimental results demonstrate that the predictor performs well and has a substantial embedding capacity.For the Lena image,the number of prediction errors within the range of[-5,5]is as high as 242500 and our predictor achieves an embedding capacity of 4.39 bpp.

文摘In order to solve the problem of patient information security protection in medical images,whilst also taking into consideration the unchangeable particularity of medical images to the lesion area and the need for medical images themselves to be protected,a novel robust watermarking algorithm for encrypted medical images based on dual-tree complex wavelet transform and discrete cosine transform(DTCWT-DCT)and chaotic map is proposed in this paper.First,DTCWT-DCT transformation was performed on medical images,and dot product was per-formed in relation to the transformation matrix and logistic map.Inverse transformation was undertaken to obtain encrypted medical images.Then,in the low-frequency part of the DTCWT-DCT transformation coefficient of the encrypted medical image,a set of 32 bits visual feature vectors that can effectively resist geometric attacks are found to be the feature vector of the encrypted medical image by using perceptual hashing.After that,different logistic initial values and growth parameters were set to encrypt the watermark,and zero-watermark technology was used to embed and extract the encrypted medical images by combining cryptography and third-party concepts.The proposed watermarking algorithm does not change the region of interest of medical images thus it does not affect the judgment of doctors.Additionally,the security of the algorithm is enhanced by using chaotic mapping,which is sensitive to the initial value in order to encrypt the medical image and the watermark.The simulation results show that the pro-posed algorithm has good homomorphism,which can not only protect the original medical image and the watermark information,but can also embed and extract the watermark directly in the encrypted image,eliminating the potential risk of decrypting the embedded watermark and extracting watermark.Compared with the recent related research,the proposed algorithm solves the contradiction between robustness and invisibility of the watermarking algorithm for encrypted medical images,and it has good results against both conventional attacks and geometric attacks.Under geometric attacks in particular,the proposed algorithm performs much better than existing algorithms.
文摘Assuring medical images protection and robustness is a compulsory necessity nowadays.In this paper,a novel technique is proposed that fuses the wavelet-induced multi-resolution decomposition of the Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT)with the energy compaction of the Discrete Wavelet Transform(DCT).The multi-level Encryption-based Hybrid Fusion Technique(EbhFT)aims to achieve great advances in terms of imperceptibility and security of medical images.A DWT disintegrated sub-band of a cover image is reformed simultaneously using the DCT transform.Afterwards,a 64-bit hex key is employed to encrypt the host image as well as participate in the second key creation process to encode the watermark.Lastly,a PN-sequence key is formed along with a supplementary key in the third layer of the EbHFT.Thus,the watermarked image is generated by enclosing both keys into DWT and DCT coefficients.The fusions ability of the proposed EbHFT technique makes the best use of the distinct privileges of using both DWT and DCT methods.In order to validate the proposed technique,a standard dataset of medical images is used.Simulation results show higher performance of the visual quality(i.e.,57.65)for the watermarked forms of all types of medical images.In addition,EbHFT robustness outperforms an existing scheme tested for the same dataset in terms of Normalized Correlation(NC).Finally,extra protection for digital images from against illegal replicating and unapproved tampering using the proposed technique.

文摘To improve the security and quality of decrypted images,this work proposes a reversible data hiding in encrypted image based on iterative recovery.The encrypted image is firstly generated by the pixel classification scrambling and bit-wise exclusive-OR(XOR),which improves the security of encrypted images.And then,a pixel-typemark generation method based on block-compression is designed to reduce the extra burden of key management and transfer.At last,an iterative recovery strategy is proposed to optimize the marked decrypted image,which allows the original image to be obtained only using the encryption key.The proposed reversible data hiding scheme in encrypted image is not vulnerable to the ciphertext-only attack due to the fact that the XOR-encrypted pixels are scrambled in the corresponding encrypted image.Experimental results demonstrate that the decrypted images obtained by the proposed method are the same as the original ones,and the maximum embedding rate of proposed method is higher than the previously reported reversible data hiding methods in encrypted image.

文摘Ensuring information security in the quantum era is a growing challenge due to advancements in cryptographic attacks and the emergence of quantum computing.To address these concerns,this paper presents the mathematical and computer modeling of a novel two-dimensional(2D)chaotic system for secure key generation in quantum image encryption(QIE).The proposed map employs trigonometric perturbations in conjunction with rational-saturation functions and hence,named as Trigonometric-Rational-Saturation(TRS)map.Through rigorous mathematical analysis and computational simulations,the map is extensively evaluated for bifurcation behaviour,chaotic trajectories,and Lyapunov exponents.The security evaluation validates the map’s non-linearity,unpredictability,and sensitive dependence on initial conditions.In addition,the proposed TRS map has further been tested by integrating it in a QIE scheme.The QIE scheme first quantum-encodes the classic image using the Novel Enhanced Quantum Representation(NEQR)technique,the TRS map is used for the generation of secure diffusion key,which is XOR-ed with the quantum-ready image to obtain the encrypted images.The security evaluation of the QIE scheme demonstrates superior security of the encrypted images in terms of statistical security attacks and also against Differential attacks.The encrypted images exhibit zero correlation and maximum entropy with demonstrating strong resilience due to 99.62%and 33.47%results for Number of Pixels Change Rate(NPCR)and Unified Average Changing Intensity(UACI).The results validate the effectiveness of TRS-based quantum encryption scheme in securing digital images against emerging quantum threats,making it suitable for secure image encryption in IoT and edge-based applications.
文摘Data security is crucial for improving the confidentiality,integrity,and authenticity of the image content.Maintaining these security factors poses significant challenges,particularly in healthcare,business,and social media sectors,where information security and personal privacy are paramount.The cryptography concept introduces a solution to these challenges.This paper proposes an innovative hybrid image encryption algorithm capable of encrypting several types of images.The technique merges the Tiny Encryption Algorithm(TEA)and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman(RSA)algorithms called(TEA-RSA).The performance of this algorithm is promising in terms of cost and complexity,an encryption time which is below 10ms was recorded.It is implied by correlation coefficient analysis that after encryption there is a notable decrease in pixel correlation,therefore making it effective at disguising pixel relationships via obfuscation.Moreover,our technique achieved the highest Normalized Pixel Cross-Correlation(NPCC),Number of Pixel Change Rate(NPCR)value over 99%consistent,and a Unified Average Changing Intensity(UACI)value which stands at around 33.86 thereby making it insensitive to statistical attacks hence leading to massive alteration of pixel values and intensities.These make clear the resistance of this process to any sort of hacking attempt whatsoever that might want unauthorized access into its domain.It is important to note that the integrity of images is well preserved throughout encryption as well as decryption stages in line with these low decryption times are clear indications.These results collectively indicate that the algorithm is effective in ensuring secure and efficient image encryption while maintaining the overall integrity and quality of the encrypted images.The proposed hybrid approach has been investigated against cryptoanalysis such as Cyphertext-only attacks,Known-plaintext attacks,Chosen-plaintext attacks,and Chosen-ciphertext attacks.Moreover,the proposed approach explains a good achievement against cropping and differential attacks.

文摘With the fast development of multimedia social platforms,content dissemination on social media platforms is becomingmore popular.Social image sharing can also raise privacy concerns.Image encryption can protect social images.However,most existing image protection methods cannot be applied to multimedia social platforms because of encryption in the spatial domain.In this work,the authors propose a secure social image-sharing method with watermarking/fingerprinting and encryption.First,the fingerprint code with a hierarchical community structure is designed based on social network analysis.Then,discrete wavelet transform(DWT)from block discrete cosine transform(DCT)directly is employed.After that,all codeword segments are embedded into the LL,LH,and HL subbands,respectively.The selected subbands are confused based on Game of Life(GoL),and then all subbands are diffused with singular value decomposition(SVD).Experimental results and security analysis demonstrate the security,invisibility,and robustness of our method.Further,the superiority of the technique is elaborated through comparison with some related image security algorithms.The solution not only performs the fast transformation from block DCT to one-level DWT but also protects users’privacy in multimedia social platforms.With the proposed method,JPEG image secure sharing in multimedia social platforms can be ensured.
文摘The large-scale acquisition and widespread application of remote sensing image data have led to increasingly severe challenges in information security and privacy protection during transmission and storage.Urban remote sensing image,characterized by complex content and well-defined structures,are particularly vulnerable to malicious attacks and information leakage.To address this issue,the author proposes an encryption method based on the enhanced single-neuron dynamical system(ESNDS).ESNDS generates highquality pseudo-random sequences with complex dynamics and intense sensitivity to initial conditions,which drive a structure of multi-stage cipher comprising permutation,ring-wise diffusion,and mask perturbation.Using representative GF-2 Panchromatic and Multispectral Scanner(PMS)urban scenes,the author conducts systematic evaluations in terms of inter-pixel correlation,information entropy,histogram uniformity,and number of pixel change rate(NPCR)/unified average changing intensity(UACI).The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme effectively resists statistical analysis,differential attacks,and known-plaintext attacks while maintaining competitive computational efficiency for high-resolution urban image.In addition,the cipher is lightweight and hardware-friendly,integrates readily with on-board and ground processing,and thus offers tangible engineering utility for real-time,large-volume remote-sensing data protection.

文摘Existing chaotic encryption schemes primarily focus on single types of images,making the design of hybrid image encryption schemes more suitable for practical applications.In this paper,a hyperchaotic map with a spherical attractor is proposed,which is constructed using spherical coordinates.Dynamical analyses reveal that the hyperchaotic map exhibits global hyperchaos and high complexity,making it capable of generating more complex chaotic sequences suitable for image encryption.A hybrid encryption scheme based on a hyperchaotic map is proposed for two-dimensional(2D)images,three-dimensional(3D)models,and 3D point clouds.Firstly,the pixels of 2D image and the coordinate data of 3D image are fused into a plaintext cube,which is combined with Hash-512 to obtain the initial value of the hyperchaotic map.Chaotic sequences are utilized for cube space internal confusion and dynamic cross-diffusion.The encrypted images demonstrate high information entropy,and the test results show that the encryption scheme effectively protects the images.The proposed hybrid image encryption scheme provides an efficient solution for securing various types of images.
