| description | This study presents a novel encryption method for RGB (Red–Green–Blue) color images that combines scrambling techniques with the logistic map equation. In this method, image scrambling serves as a reversible transformation, rendering the image unintelligible to unauthorized users and thus enhancing security against potential attacks. The proposed encryption scheme, called Bit-Plane Representation of Quantum Images (BRQI), utilizes quantum operations in conjunction with a one-dimensional chaotic system to increase encryption efficiency. The encryption algorithm operates in two phases: first, the quantum image undergoes scrambling through bit-plane manipulation, and second, the scrambled image is mixed with a key image generated using the logistic map. To assess the performance of the algorithm, simulations and analyses were conducted, evaluating parameters such as entropy (a measure of disorder) and correlation coefficients to confirm the effectiveness and robustness of this algorithm in safeguarding and encoding color images. The results show that the proposed quantum color image encryption algorithm surpasses classical methods in terms of security, robustness, and computational complexity. |
