摘要

In recent years, there has been growing interesting in image encryption based on chaotic systems. In order to improve the effect of encryption, a large amount of operations are implemented in the most chaos-based cryptosystems. However, the runtime of chaos-based cryptosystems would be increased with the rise of operations. In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed to generate cipher key for the permutation-diffusion architecture. The cipher key not only relates to the plain-image, but also the generated time of cipher key is shorter than the conventional method. On the premise of security, a novel and fast permutation-diffusion architecture based on chaotic systems and variable control conditions is proposed. For the sake of increasing the key space and enhancing the security of proposed architecture, variable control conditions used in this cryptosystem as the parameter and initial value of same chaotic system are generated from the cipher key related to the plain-image. So the proposed algorithm can effectively resist the most attacks against permutation-diffusion architectures. Finally, theoretical analyses and numerical experimental results show that the proposed chaos-based cryptosystem possesses high security and sound time of image encryption, which is suitable for protecting the image information.
