Abstract

This paper proposes a robust chaotic encryption algorithm based on substitution and permutation. We offer hyperchaotic maps with high ergodicity and large keyspace with a maximum value of \(10^{14}\). Also, we propose an optimization S-box with a high nonlinearity value and without fixed and reverse fixed points. The critical sensitivity test of the proposed algorithm shows that the sensitivity of the keys dynamic scheme is \(10^{-14}\). Comparative analysis of our proposed encryption scheme with other existing image encryption methods shows that the proposed method also has better correlation values between two-pixel adjacents, better UACI and NPCR values, and acceptable speed. The proposed encryption algorithm can resist several attacks and has high security. We can apply our robust scheme in applications requiring increased protection and ensuring secure communication by images.
