The rapid growth in the use of multimedia information has made the security of data storage and transmission important in avoiding unlawful, unofficial, unauthorised and illegal use. Encryption is an efficient operation to protect multimedia data secret. A new image encryption approach that uses binary coded decimal (BCD) code‐based decomposition, reordering and scrambling bit planes, and an encryption process is suggested in this study. Image decomposition using BCD code for image encryption is introduced in this study. A simple scrambling process is used to shuffle binary bit planes after re‐ordering them. A shift column operation is applied to the image that is constructed after scrambling the bit planes to increase the security level. A performance analysis and a comparison with other encryption algorithms are conducted to prove the proposed algorithm's image encryption capabilities. The experimental results show that the suggested method protects secret images against common attacks with shorter encryption/decryption times.
