Abstract

ABSTRACT: This paper proposes an asymmetric encryption scheme for color images by introducing a new efficient triple-layered encryption scheme based on the RSA cryptosystem along with a chaotic map in the discrete Hartley domain. The present approach encrypts the image independently using the RSA cryptosystem and afterward transforms them into discrete Hartley domains to diffuse the image pixels. Further, the pixel positions are dislocated by applying a non-linear chaotic map to provide a complex structure of the scheme. The hardness of prime factorization of integers is intricacy in the RSA algorithm. The massive pixel confusion by a non-linear Hénon map gives rise to an efficient and robust system. Simulation results with performance analysis and the detailed comparison with extant systems assure robustness, validity, and security of the proposed scheme against various cryptanalytic attacks.
