Abstract

Abstract : The application of multimedia sensors is widespread, and people need to transmit images more securely and efficiently. In this paper, an image transmission scheme based on two chaotic maps is proposed. The proposed scheme consists of two parts, secure image transmission between sensor nodes and sink nodes (SIT-SS) and secure image transmission between sensor nodes and receivers (SIT-SR). For resource-constrained environments, SIT-SS utilizes Tent-Logistic Map (TLM) to generate chaotic sequences and adopts TLM-Driven permutation and transformation to confuse image pixels. Then the cipher image is obtained through TLM-Driven two-dimensional compressed sensing. Compared with existing schemes, the secret key design of SIT-SS is more reasonable and requires fewer hardware resources. When sampling ratio is greater than 0.6, its image reconstruction quality has obvious advantages. For environments with huge security threats, SIT-SR adopts dynamic permutation and confusion based on discrete logarithms to confuse the image and exploits dynamic diffusion based on discrete logarithms to generate final cipher image. Similarly, compared with some existing schemes, the design of SIT-SR is more practical, and the statistical characteristics of the cipher image are better. Finally, extensive simulation tests confirm the superiority of the proposed scheme.
