Image Encryption Algorithm Based on Dual-Chaos Mutual Interference System

This paper proposes a dual-chaos mutual interference system constructed from two simple logistic maps and presents a novel image encryption algorithm utilizing this system. The algorithm enhances encryption complexity and randomness by incorporating the dual-chaos mutual interference mechanism, thereby improving image security. Specifically, the implementation first initializes two logistic maps with different parameters to generate chaotic sequences through iterative calculations. These sequences are then combined using a mutual interference function to create a more unpredictable key stream. The encryption process involves performing XOR operations between the generated chaotic sequences and image pixel values in raster-scan order. Through this dual-chaos system, the encrypted images demonstrate higher resistance against attacks and improved隐蔽性 (concealment properties). Therefore, this algorithm shows significant potential for applications in the field of image encryption, with key functions including chaotic sequence generation, pixel-wise transformation, and diffusion mechanisms.
