Abstract

Image encryption is the core technology of secure storage and transmission of image information. Based on a perceptron-like network of integer domain, a new unified image encryption algorithm is proposed. Its encryption algorithm and decryption algorithm are the same, both including an exclusive-or module, two types of perceptron-like networks and a sequence-flip module. The image data are diffused and encrypted by the forward propagation algorithm of neural network, and the historical data of the image are memorized and updated by the backward propagation algorithm of the network. The unified image cryptosystem uses a 512-bit key with the encryption speed up to 13.794Mbps on the computer equipped with an i7-9750H CPU. The maximum relative error of each system sensitivity index is less than 0.1%. The system requires the pseudorandom numbers by only half the size of the image. Simulated tests and comparative analyses show that the unified image cryptosystem possesses excellent characteristics of high speed and strong security strength. The proposed system can be used as a candidate safety method for network image information security.
