Abstract

Digital image is transmitted more and more frequently through the network. To protect the security of batch images in an open network, a multiple-image encryption algorithm is proposed. Firstly, multiple images are combined into an image cube and then three-dimensional integer lifting wavelet transform (3D-LWT) is performed on it; secondly, the low-frequency part is scrambled to obtain the scrambled image cube in frequency domain; thirdly, three-dimensional inverse integer lifting wavelet transform (3D-ILWT) is performed to obtain the scrambled image cube in the spatial domain; finally, the scrambled image cube is replaced by the dynamic stereo S-box. The experimental results and algorithm analyses show that the key space of the algorithm can reach up to 2628, and its key sensitivity is very strong. Therefore the algorithm is strongly secure and robust.
