Abstract

Nowadays, the majority of mobile phone conversations take the form of photos. A strong encryption mechanism is required to shield the photographs from hackers. The novel random key-based picture encryption technique proposed in this study is safe. For each image encryption, a different session key is produced using this method. In this case, a hybrid pseudo-random number generator is used to create the session key. To encrypt an image, the suggested approach combines 64-bit plaintext and a 96-bit key, of which 64 bits are generated using a symmetric key, and the remaining 32 bits are added randomly using a hybrid pseudo-random number generator. At the encryption stage of this work, a further process called the 2-point crossover function is applied to further secure keys. This work does not require remembering and extracting session keys to generate subsequent session keys while keys are changing during each transmission. The implemented algorithm is tested on IoT devices for securing them. The experimental findings demonstrate that the suggested scheme performs better than the current scheme on a number of criteria.
