Quantum Image Cryptography of Gingerbreadman Map by Using Pixel Shuffling

Shilpa M. Satre, Bharti Joshi

Encryption is a vital tool for safeguarding photos from unauthorized access. The ease of storing data in the cloud has come with a downside: increased vulnerability to hacking. Securing communication is paramount in today's digital world, and encryption is essential for achieving this. Many photo encryption techniques hinge on chaotic logistic maps. Basically, two aspects of chaotic maps Continuous chaotic map and discrete chaotic map. This proposal defines utilization of Quantum cryptography-based Image encryption technique by using pixel permutation. The standard algorithms and procedures used by classical cryptography, such as key exchange methods for secrecy and public-key encryption techniques for digital signatures, are delivered on a regular basis to fulfill these obligations. They are simple to manipulate using cutting-edge technology, but they have some drawbacks when it comes to real-time communication security assurance phases. The reliability of classical cryptography is limited to Scheming. In classical cryptography, the key size is in a somewhat reduced form. Therefore, it is unknown how long the algorithm will last. Hackers can use it to take screenshots of the encrypted data, which they can subsequently use to carry out other immoral tasks. Numerous cryptographic tasks may be accomplished with quantum cryptography. Since encrypted data cannot be copied or read in the quantum state, unethical communication practices are reduced. Passive attacks are unfeasible due to the huge key space that quantum communication may exploit. To enhance the security level, we used pixel permutation model in discreate chaotic map Gingerbreadman map.

Post-quantum image encryption based on a chaotic system and the Rubik's cube principle

A. V. Sidorenko, I. V. Sergeev

Objectives. The aim of the work is the development and experimental verification of a hybrid postquantum image encryption algorithm based on a 3D chaotic system and the Rubik's cube principle. Methods. Issues of the vulnerability of traditional encryption methods to attacks using quantum computers are considered. To create a cryptographically robust algorithm, it is proposed to combine the advantages of chaotic systems and quantum computing. A new 3D chaotic system based on a modified Lorenz system is used for generating pseudorandom keys. The Rubik's cube principle is applied to perform image scrambling operations (cyclic shifting of rows and columns). The NEQR (Novel Enhanced Quantum Representation) model is used for quantum representation and data processing. The algorithm is implemented in Python using the Quiskit, OpenCV, and NumPy libraries, as well as the AerSimulator quantum computing simulator. Results. A hybrid encryption algorithm has been developed and implemented as a computer program. The algorithm was tested on images of various sizes and formats. Resistance to statistical and differential attacks has been experimentally confirmed: the correlation coefficient of adjacent pixels in the encrypted images is close to zero, the information entropy is close to the ideal value of 8, and the NPCR and PSNR values exceed 99,25 % and are less than 13 dB, respectively. Conclusion. The proposed hybrid algorithm demonstrates high cryptographic strength and efficiency. Key sensitivity, the use of quantum principles, and performance optimization through multithreading make it practical for use in security-critical areas such as IoT, telemedicine, and cloud storage. The software implementation operates locally without requiring an internet connection, which ensures data security.

Quantum Image Cryptography of Continuous Chaotic Maps by Using Pixel Shuffeling

Shilpa M. Satre

Images are important data carriers because, compared to text data, they are harder to transfer or store securely and include higher volumes and redundancies of digital data. Images can be shielded against a variety of risks with security, including eavesdropping and illegal copying and alteration. Because of the potential quantum risk to the existing cryptographic encryption methods and the quick advancement towards the development of quantum computers, quantum image encryption algorithms have recently drawn increasing amounts of attention. The majority of quantum image encryption techniques such as diffusion and scrambling, involve two separate rounds. In this model, the three different chaotic maps are used separately for scrambling the images to determine the performance of the quantum image cryptography with different combination of the model. At first, the hash256 algorithm is used for generating the quantum key and the forward diffusion takes place for diffusing the first pixel to final pixel of the input image information. Then, the three different chaotic maps such as pixel permutation, Chen attractor and Lorenz attractor are used for scrambling the input image. Finally, the bit-level permutation and backward diffusion process are considered for the scrambled image. For evaluating the performance of the quantum image cryptography based on the three different chaotic maps, the NPCR, UACI, Entropy, SSIM, correlation characteristics and histogram analysis are determined. The attained NPCR, UACI, Entropy and SSIM of the CASIA2 dataset for Lorenz attractor are improved than the pixel permutation and Chen attractor. Thus, from the attained values, the Quantum Image Cryptography Based on Continuous Chaotic Map such as Lorenz attractor performs better for the statistical and differential analysis than the other chaotic maps.

Quantum medical images encryption based on 3D logistic-chaotic map and NEQR representation

Yasameen Khalid, Tayseer Salman, Ahmed Youns

Medical image security is crucial for patient confidentiality because it is exposed to many attacks, such as editing photos or moving the affected part to another place, and others. Encryption is an efficient technique to protect the confidentiality of images, but traditional encryption suffers from brute-force attacks. This research proposes an encryption method depending on quantum concepts to resist brute-force attacks using a 3D logistic map to generate keys; the keys were scrambled to increase the randomness, and using the best image scrambling scheme generated by a genetic algorithm as a first stage to increase the strength of the encryption algorithm. The quantum scrambled image is then encrypted by using XOR process depending on a 3D logistic map key generator. The proposed encrypting and decrypting algorithm utilize a NEQR quantum image representation. Numerical and simulation analyses using MATLAB demonstrate that the suggested encryption algorithm is robust, realizable, and highly efficient in comparison to its classical equivalent.

A quantum image encryption method for dual chaotic systems based on quantum logistic mapping

Yumin Dong, Chenhao Yin, Chen Xu +1 more

Abstract On the basis of using quantum NEQR (novel enhanced quantum representation of digital image) to display images, a dual chaos system based on quantum logistic mapping is proposed to encrypt quantum images to ensure the security of quantum image transmission. The encryption algorithm is based on quantum logistic mapping and Chen chaos system to generate chaotic sequences, and uses quantum rotation gate operations to rotate and transform each pixel of the quantum image to achieve the effect of image encryption. Traditional quantum image encryption usually uses classical randomly generated sequences to construct the encryption angle of the quantum rotating door. This method combines the randomness of measured quantum with the chaotic system to obtain a truly random sequence. Using this random sequence can better Keep images confidential. Experimental results show that this method has high security and sensitivity to keys. In the sensitivity analysis of the results of the simulation experiment, its NPCR (Number of Pixels Change Rate) values floated around 99.60%. In the field of image encryption, the reliability of image encryption is greatly enhanced.

The recent advances in digital services such as telehealth, video conferencing, military imaging, and video surveillance require highly reliable, secure storage and transmission of multimedia images and video. Specifically, video surveillance systems are commonly adopted for real-time event detection and video analytics. The video captured by video surveillance cameras often holds personal information, which requires privacy protection. Unlike text, digital images and video frames have many special properties, for instance, pixel correlations, textures, and huge size, which results in conventional cryptosystems like AES, data encryption standard (DES), etc., being appropriate for performing image encryption tasks as they possess very low efficiency when the data size is large. Chaotic cryptosystem has recommended a proficient approach for performing multimedia encryption with special characteristics like randomness and dynamic behavior. Though chaotic cryptosystem provides better security, these frameworks are vulnerable to cryptanalytic attacks with high computation machines.

To ensure the privacy of surveillance video, the proposed framework presented a novel Quantum based video cryptosystem for encrypting the digital video frames. Initially, the video frames are converted into quantum qubit frames by processing the pixel values. Next, to guarantee the secrecy of digital video information, the qubit planes are encrypted by utilizing series of quantum gates such as swap gate, controlled not gate, Toffoli gate and Hadamard gates under confusion and diffusion phases. The secrecy of digital video frames is reinforced by utilizing plain image-based quantum chaos for secret key generation. The traditional chaotic maps are quantized to obtain the quantumbased random sequences and these random sequences are further utilized to construct the secret keys for performing encryption and decryption operation. The numerical simulations and security analysis prove that the proposed system ensures secure video surveillance against cryptanalytic attacks. Also, the proposed quantum-based secure video surveillance system has ensured the effectiveness of quantum image processing in real-time video surveillance applications.
