Correcting Errors in Color Image Encryption Algorithm Based on Fault Tolerance Technique

Abstract

Security standards have been raised through modern multimedia communications technology, which allows for enormous progress in security. Modern multimedia communication technologies are concerned with fault tolerance technique and information security. As a primary method, there is widespread use of image encryption to protect image information security. Over the past few years, image encryption has paid more attention to combining DNA technologies in order to increase security. The objective here is to provide a new method for correcting color image encryption errors due to the uncertainty of DNA computing by using the fractional order hyperchaotic Lorenz system. To increase randomness, the proposed cryptosystem is applied to the three plain image channels: Red, Green, and Blue. Several methods were compared including the following: entropy, correlation, key sensitivity, key space, data loss attacks, speed computation, Number of Pixel changing rate (NPCR), and Unified Average Change Intensity randomness (UACI) tests. Consequently, the proposed scheme is very secure against a variety of cryptographic attacks.
