Description
Summary:A new meaningful image encryption algorithm based on compressive sensing (CS) and integer wavelet transformation (IWT) is proposed in this study. First of all, the initial values of chaotic system are encrypted by RSA algorithm, and then they are open as public keys. To make the chaotic sequence more random, a mathematical model is constructed to improve the random performance. Then, the plain image is compressed and encrypted to obtain the secret image. Secondly, the secret image is inserted with numbers zero to extend its size same to the plain image. After applying IWT to the carrier image and discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) to the inserted image, the secret image is embedded into the carrier image. Finally, a meaningful carrier image embedded with secret plain image can be obtained by inverse IWT. Here, the measurement matrix is built by both chaotic system and Hadamard matrix, which not only retains the characteristics of Hadamard matrix, but also has the property of control and synchronization of chaotic system. Especially, information entropy of the plain image is employed to produce the initial conditions of chaotic system. As a result, the proposed algorithm can resist known-plaintext attack (KPA) and chosen-plaintext attack (CPA). By the help of asymmetric cipher algorithm RSA, no extra transmission is needed in the communication. Experimental simulations show that the normalized correlation (NC) values between the host image and the cipher image are high. That is to say, the proposed encryption algorithm is imperceptible and has good hiding effect.
