Image Encryption Using the Ikeda Map

Image encryption plays a vital role in many related aspects of our daily life. In this paper, we introduced a new image encryption algorithm using the Ikeda map. This encryption method inherits the advantages of chaos-based encryption method, which has a high sensitivity to the encryption key, a large space of encryption keys, a random-like property, etc. The same encryption algorithm can be also applied to other data types, like audio data and video data. The simulation results showed the effectiveness and robustness of our algorithm.
