| description | This paper presents an integrated chaos-based algorithm for image encryption that combines the chaotic Hénon map and chaotic logistic map (CLM) to enhance the security of digital image communication. The proposed method leverages chaos theory to generate cryptographic keys, utilizing a 1D key from the logistic map generator and a 2D key from the chaotic Hénon map generator. These chaotic maps produce highly unpredictable and complex keys essential for robust encryption. Extensive experiments demonstrate the algorithm’s resilience against various attacks, including chosen-plaintext, noise, clipping, occlusion, and known-plaintext attacks. Performance evaluation in terms of encryption time, throughput, and image quality metrics validates the effectiveness of the proposed integrated approach. The results indicate that the chaotic Hénon–logistic map integration provides a powerful and secure method for safeguarding digital images during transmission and storage with a key space that reaches up to <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mn>2</mn><mn>200</mn></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula>. Moreover, the algorithm has potential applications in secure image sharing, cloud storage, and digital forensics, inspiring new possibilities. |
