A robust image encryption algorithm resistant to attacks using DNA and chaotic logistic maps

An image encryption technique using DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) operations and chaotic maps has been proposed in this paper. Firstly, the input image is DNA encoded and a mask is generated by using 1D chaotic map. This mask is added with the DNA encoded image using DNA addition. Intermediate result is DNA complemented with the help of a complement matrix produced by two 1D chaotic maps. Finally, the resultant matrix is permuted using 2D chaotic map followed by DNA decoding to get the cipher image. Proposed technique is totally invertible and it can resist known plain text attack, statistical attacks and differential attacks.
