Abstract

In this paper, a new medical image encryption system is proposed using a special nonlinear filter function based linear feedback shift register (LFSR). This special nonlinear filter function based LFSR is used as a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG). In this generator, word-based effective operation has been applied to speed up the process of encryption and decryption. Firstly, the medical image is randomized by Logistic-Tent map and scrambled by Arnold transformation method. Next, the disordered image data is XORed with output sequences of specially designed PRNG to obtain cipher image. Our designed structure aims to provide high-level randomness in the cipher image content. Encryption decryption time requirements reveal the efficiency of the proposed system. Several performance measures are estimated to validate the resistance of the proposed scheme against statistical, differential, and a few common cryptanalytic attacks. The proposed encryption scheme compares favorably with several existing image encryption schemes.
