A light weight secure image encryption scheme based on chaos & DNA computing

Abstract This paper proposed a new light weight secure cryptographic scheme for secure image communication. In this scheme the plain image is permuted first using a sequence of pseudo random number (PRN) and encrypted by DeoxyriboNucleic Acid (DNA) computation. Two PRN sequences are generated by a Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG) based on cross coupled chaotic logistic map using two sets of keys. The first PRN sequence is used for permuting the plain image whereas the second PRN sequence is used for generating random DNA sequence. The number of rounds of permutation and encryption may be variable to increase security. The scheme is proposed for gray label images but the scheme may be extended for color images and text data. Simulation results exhibit that the proposed scheme can defy any kind of attack.
