A Novel Multi-Image Encryption Scheme Using Generalized Rectangular Transform and Advanced 5-D Hyperchaotic Map by Yu-Chi Lan, Chung-Ming Wang

“…In the pixel diffusion phase, a bit-level random permutation (BLRP) technique is employed alongside a Penta-Hyperchaotic Map (PHM), an advanced 5-D discrete memristor and meminductor-based hyperchaotic map, integrated with the SHA-512 hashing function. Unlike traditional pixel-based diffusion methods, BLRP shuffles bits, achieving finer confusion and making structural inference significantly more difficult for attackers. …”
