Abstract

To prevent the information leak of image content, image encryption technology has received increasing attention. The proposed algorithm adopts a diffusion-permutation-diffusion structure. Inspired by the three-view drawing in the engineering field, the view planes of color image are defined in this paper and applied in both diffusion stages. At the permutation stage, a 3D Zigzag transformation is proposed to destroy the correlation among R, G, B components. Moreover, we combine two chaotic systems as a new pseudo-random number generator (PRNG). Experiments and algorithm analyses indicate that the proposed algorithm has strong security and desirable performance.
