All types of multimedia data, including digital images, audio, text, and video, are now easily accessible on the internet due to the phenomenal growth of internet services and wireless telecommunication systems, including mobile and computer systems, in order to achieve a specific degree of security, integrity, and secrecy as well as to prevent malicious access to the information. In contrast, for data storage and transmission, cryptographic procedures are necessary. This study presents brand-new, very effective colour image encryption and decryption algorithms that use diffusion and pixel scrambling. At first Zig-Zag permutation was used to scramble the data. Then, by concealing the statistical makeup of the pixels, the two-dimensional Lozi map is used to distort further the connection between neighbouring pixels in the original image. Furthermore, the diffusion in three colour channels is accomplished using a 3D logistic map. During the decryption process, the image pixels are again moved back to their original positions. The chaotic mapping technique encrypts images to reduce the correlation between encrypted and unencrypted versions. As described in this study, the tested and examined encryption algorithm on certain colour photos showed substantial security and authenticity to resist statistical and differential cyber attacks.
