Abstract

A novel bit-level image cryptosystem is proposed by introducing a new coupled map lattices (CML). The modified non-adjacent spatiotemporal chaotic system with good dynamic performance is constructed by coupling the piecewise-linear chaotic map (PWLCM) in a non-adjacent manner. In the proposed bit-level image cryptosystem, the binary plain image is scrambled globally by a 2D hyper-chaos system. And the confused image is then diffused via the pseudo-random sequences produced quickly and efficiently from the fabricative CML. After converting the diffused binary matrix into its homologous decimal matrix, the cipher image is achieved. Computer simulations and performance comparisons with recent image encryption algorithms demonstrate the superior performance and high security of our proposed cryptosystem.
