An image encryption scheme based on a four-dimensional hyperchaotic system and Reversible Asynchronous Dynamic Influence Radius Cellular Automata
摘要
Cellular automata (CA) are extensively utilized in image encryption owing to their nonlinearity and parallelizability. However, using a static CA rule for encryption poses security risks, especially when handling specific images. Although dynamic CA rules can alleviate this issue which inevitably lead to higher computational complexity. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel Reversible Asynchronous Dynamic Influence Radius Cellular Automata (RADIR-CA) framework. Based on the RADIR-CA, we proposed an efficient image encryption algorithm. First, a 4D hyperchaotic system (4D-VFCM) is designed to enhance key sensitivity, with its chaotic properties rigorously validated through Lyapunov exponent spectra, 0-1 tests, and sample entropy. Then, we construct a RADIR-CA-based diffusion algorithm to thoroughly disrupt the statistical properties of the plaintext. Finally, a 3D bit-level permutation algorithm (3DBPA) is proposed to achieve comprehensive bitwise scrambling, significantly enhancing resistance against cropping attacks. Simulation experiments and comprehensive security analyses demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves a key space of
