Recent research has focused on image encryption due to growing concerns about communication security. While conventional encryption techniques are successful, they often struggle with scalability for large systems and adaptability to new security challenges. This study investigates the use of machine learning (ML) in image encryption, exploring its potential to transform data protection. The research evaluates various ML techniques, such as neural networks, reservoir computing, and support vector machines, to enhance signal synchronization, reduce noise, and strengthen encryption. The study outlines the advantages of ML-enhanced encryption, including adaptability and improved security, while also noting drawbacks like computational complexity and susceptibility to adversarial attacks. The results underscore ML's capacity to revolutionize chaotic encryption, offering innovative approaches for secure communication in the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and wireless network applications. ML provides a sophisticated and adaptive approach to encryption by employing algorithms that can identify, adjust, and improve encryption methods based on data patterns and real-time conditions. By leveraging deep learning models, neural networks, and advanced statistical methods, ML enables the development of robust encryption systems capable of resisting traditional cryptographic attacks. These systems can identify anomalies, detect vulnerabilities, and modify encryption techniques to meet specific data security needs.
