Abstract

Over the last few years, lots of chaotic image encryption schemes have been proposed. However, most of the schemes are permutation-diffusion architectures which still have some shortcomings, such as weak key streams, small key spaces, small information entropy, and so on. To eliminate the above weaknesses, in this paper, we propose a hyper-chaotic image encryption scheme based on quantum genetic algorithm (QGA) and compressive sensing (CS), which is a new image encryption scheme and has not been proposed so far. Firstly, QGA can update the population with the quantum rotation gate, which can enhance the randomness of the population and avoid falling into local optimum. Then compressive sensing technology is used to reduce data storage and speed up the encryption and decryption process. Moreover, we utilize the SHA-512 hash function of the plain image to calculate the initial values of the hyper-chaotic system, which is capable of enhancing the relationships between encryption schemes and plain images. The simulation experiments and security analysis reveal that the proposed scheme is more efficient in resisting statistical attack and plaintext attack and shows better performance in peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and information entropy compared with other image encryption schemes based on chaos theory.
