A Novel 3D Vector Decomposition for Color-Image Encryption by Zheng Zhu, Chao Wu, Jun Wang, Keya Hu, Xu-dong Chen

“…Furthermore, we employ an 1D chaos, which has strong chaotic properties, and reality-preserving fractional Hartley transform to cooperate 3D vector decomposition for constructing a color-image cryptosystem. Therefore, the proposed cryptosystem accomplishes improved security by reducing the single-channel attack risk in individual color-image encryption and avoiding the vulnerable channel in sequential color-image encryption as well as reduced the amount of data of transform-based cryptosystem by avoiding the complex output. …”
