Data security remains to be one of the most discussed issues in the modern, fast-paced technological ecosystem. This paves way to a lot of endangerment to the transfer of data over various channels, which can be considered reliable and confidential. Classified information cannot be compromised by transmitting it through common channels as they are prone to attack by certain groups, which might to lead to catastrophic circumstances. The most commonly transmitted type of data is in the form of images and classified images have to be transmitted in such a way that it is highly imperceptible. This paper discusses about an encryption algorithm which follows an unconventional method of encryption, followed by diffusion by Ex-OR addition. The confusion is carried out among different planes of the image and can be termed as inter-planar confusion. There are two different ways in which inter-planar confusion can be done and that depends on a chaotic tent map random number generator. The viability and the overall performance of the proposed algorithm is marked as a trade-off between various combinational metrics and good results shows the imperceptibility of the encrypted image
