Abstract
Digital images can be easily shared or stored using different imaging devices, storage tools, and computer networks or wireless communication systems. However, these digital images, such as headshots or medical images, may contain private information. Hence, to protect the confidentiality, reliability, and availability of digital images on online processing applications, it is crucial to increase the infosecurity of these images. Therefore, an authorization encryption scheme should ensure a high security level of digital images. The present study aimed to establish a multilayer convolutional processing network (MCPN)-based cryptography mechanism for performing two-round image encryption and decryption processes. In the MCPN layer, two-dimensional (2D) spatial convolutional operations were used to extract the image features and perform scramble operations from grayscale to gray gradient values for the first-image encryption and second-image decryption processes, respectively. In the MCPN weighted network, a sine-power chaotic map (SPCM)-based key generator was used to dynamically produce the non-ordered pseudorandom numbers to set the network-weighted values as secret keys in a sufficiently large key space. It performs the second and first encryption processes using the diffusion method, modifying the image pixel values. Children’s headshots and medical images were used to evaluate the security level by comparing the plain and cipher images using the information entropy, number of pixel change rate, and unified averaged changed intensity indices. Moreover, the plain and decrypted images were compared to verify the decrypted image quality using the structural similarity index measurement and peak signal-to-noise ratio.
