A novel colour image encryption algorithm based on chaos

In this paper, a novel colour image encryption algorithm based on chaos has been proposed. We use chaotic system to encrypt the R, G, B components of a colour image at the same time and make these three components affect each other. So the correlations between R, G, B components can be reduced and the security of algorithm is increased. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can encrypt colour image effectively and resist various typical attacks.
