An efficient image encryption scheme based on double affine substitution box and chaotic system

Abstract

Privacy of information is one of the most important and unavoidable issues in our digitally advance era. A huge amount of information transmitted over different servers and networking protocols. The sphere of digitally advanced world is tied with information in different forms of facilitations, which includes online banking systems, ecommerce and many more. Providing the ease of access, anything online makes our confidential information open to different threats. Therefore, to enjoy ease of access and at the same time secure our digital information from theft, we need a robust information security system. In this article, we have designed a novel and an efficient security system, which provides secrecy to our digital information. The designed encryption scheme is fundamentally a combination of chaos and nonlinear confusion components. We have developed a new mechanism of adding confusion, namely S8 permutation of double affine transformation to construct 40320 new substitution boxes (S-boxes) having nonlinearity 112 from a single S-box. Moreover, nonlinear Lorenz dynamical system is utilized to select any three S-boxes from 40320 newly generated nonlinear components. To add diffusion in our proposed algorithm, we have utilized Chirikov discrete iterative map. The excellence of an offered digital image encryption has been examined and evaluated with standard benchmarks. The simulation results reveal that the quality of the image encryption passes all these tests and is comparable to current benchmarks.
