Diffusion–substitution based gray image encryption scheme

In this paper, an encryption algorithm for gray images using a secret key of 128-bits size is proposed. Initially, visual quality of image is degraded by the mixing process. Resultant image is partitioned into key dependent dynamic blocks and, further, these blocks are passed through key dependent d...

Description
Summary:In this paper, an encryption algorithm for gray images using a secret key of 128-bits size is proposed. Initially, visual quality of image is degraded by the mixing process. Resultant image is partitioned into key dependent dynamic blocks and, further, these blocks are passed through key dependent diffusion and substitution processes. Total sixteen rounds are used in the encryption algorithm. Proposed technique is simple to implement and has high encryption rate. Simulation experiment results have been given to validate the high security features and effectiveness of proposed system.
