A proposed lightweight image encryption using ChaCha with hyperchaotic maps

Abstract

Image encryption plays a pivotal rule in enhancing telecommunications media. Since Privacy is necessary in our daily life in many areas, the personal image will be encrypted when it sent it over the Internet to the recipient to maintain privacy issue. In this paper, the image is encrypted using ChaCha symmetric stream cipher with Hyperchaotic Map. Due to the sensitivity characteristics of initial conditions, pseudo randomness chaotic maps and control parameters in chaotic, Hyperchaotic maps is use, higher security is obtained via using initial seed number, variance of parameters, and unpredictable direction of chaotic. The suggested lightweight image encryption has confirmed robustness contra brute force attacks by providing a massive key space. Furthermore, the suggested lightweight image encryption is eligible to defense from statistical cracking, insecurity of image based on criteria's histogram correlation and entropy.
