摘要: With the development of the Internet, image encryption technology has become critical for network security. Traditional methods often suffer from issues such as insufficient chaos, low randomness in key generation, and poor encryption efficiency. To enhance performance, this paper proposes a new encryption algorithm designed to optimize parallel processing and adapt to images of varying sizes and colors. The method begins by using SHA-384 to extract the hash value of the plaintext image, which is then processed to determine the chaotic system's initial value and block size. The image is padded and divided into blocks for further processing. A novel two-dimensional infinite collapses hyperchaotic map (2D-ICHM) is employed to generate the intra-block scrambling sequence, while an improved variable Joseph traversal sequence is used for inter-block scrambling. After removing the padding, 3D forward and backward shift diffusions, controlled by the 2D-ICHM sequences, are applied to the scrambled image, producing the ciphertext. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms others in terms of entropy, anti-noise resilience, correlation coefficient, robustness, and encryption efficiency.
