Abstract

As the size of the data increases, securing the data has become an important concern as much as storing and transferring. Especially, the sensitive satellite images obtained from earth observation satellites should be transferred to the grand stations by preventing the intruders from accessing the images. For this purpose, cryptography algorithms are used to encrypt the satellite images and these images are transferred to ground station as ciphered image. In this study, AES and 3DES, which are symmetric block encryption algorithms, were used to encrypt three different size satellite images and the performance comparisons of these algorithms were performed by considering some metrics such as histogram, correlation coefficient, NPCR, UACI, PSNR, and computational time. In the simulations, AES and 3DES showed very close results in terms of histogram, correlation coefficient, NPCR, UACI and PSNR metrics for all three satellite images. However, it was observed that AES had performed better in both encryption and decryption of satellite images than 3DES in terms of the computational time criteria, and it had spent almost twice less time than 3DES.
