Color image encryption using Choquet fuzzy integral and hyper chaotic system

This paper proposes a color image encryption scheme based on Choquet fuzzy integral (CFI) and hyper chaotic system. The major core of the encryption algorithm is a pseudo-random number generator based on the CFI. Before encrypting the color image, the piecewise linear chaotic map (PWLCM) is used to generate the 128-bit secret keys, and the Lorenz system is iterated for limited times to generate the initial parameters of the CFI. The outputs of the CFI are used to confuse and diffuse the three components of the pixel, respectively. Experiment results and security analysis show that the scheme not only can achieve good encryption result and large key space, but also can resist against common attacks, so the scheme is reliable to be adopted for network security and secure communications.
