Jianhua Wu, Mengxia Zhang, Nanrun Zhou · Journal of Modern Optics · 2016

An image encryption scheme is proposed by combining the random fractional discrete cosine transform (RFrDCT) with the dependent scrambling and diffusion (DSD). The application of the randomization, irrational choice and vectorization of fractional orders and the randomization of generating sequences improves the key-sensitivity and thus enlarges the key space greatly. Both the locations and the values of RFrDCT transformed coefficients are changed during the stage of DSD to further enhance the security of image encryption scheme. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed image encryption scheme is feasible, secure and capable of resisting common classical attacks.
