Encrypting the compressed image by chaotic map and arithmetic coding

Due to the efficient and secure requirements of image transmission, a number of research works have been done to encrypt the compressed image. Inspired by the arithmetic coding and chaotic map which are used to compress and encrypt image, respectively. In this paper, a scheme is proposed to encrypt the compressed image by chaotic map and arithmetic coding. This scheme compresses the image row by row which is firstly permuted by two logistic maps before arithmetic coding. It not only enhances the security of arithmetic coding, but also improves the compression ratio. To further improve the security of binary data which has been compressed, we use the chaotic maps to encrypt the data, and set different parameters and initial value for chaotic maps. In order to possess high sensitivities of key and plain-image, the keys that are employed to determine the parameter and initial value of chaotic maps are related to the plain-image. The experimental results validate the effect of the proposed scheme and demonstrate that the compressed and encrypted image is secure and convenient for transmission.
