An image encryption algorithm based on 3D cellular automata and chaotic maps
A. Martı́n del Rey, Gerardo Rodríguez · International Journal of Modern Physics C · 2014
A novel encryption algorithm to cipher digital images is presented in this work. The digital image is rendering into a three-dimensional (3D) lattice and the protocol consists of two phases: the confusion phase where 24 chaotic Cat maps are applied and the diffusion phase where a 3D cellular automata is evolved. The encryption method is shown to be secure against the most important cryptanalytic attacks.
