Abstract

In the present age of information, images contain sensitive and confidential information. It is essential to protect confidential images from unauthorized access and modification. Image encryption is a well-accepted solution to this problem. In this article, we have proposed a non-chaotic image encryption method. This work defines a new type of scan pattern using Bezier curves. The curves are defined over the image space to i) access the pixels, ii) define the permutations, and iii) define the S-Boxes. The present method is faster and is efficient for any grayscale image. The current method is robust against different attacks. The proposed method is as efficient as state-of-the-art methods, and this indicates that the proposed work can be used as a module in various applications.
