Modified substitution-diffusion image cipher using chaotic standard and logistic maps

摘要

Recently Patidar et al. [Commun Nonlinear Sci Numer Simulat 14;2009:3056-75] proposed a new substitution-diffusion image cipher using chaotic standard and logistic maps, which is very fast and possess all the confusion and diffusion properties that any good cryptosystem should have. Soon after the proposal, Rhouma et al. [Commun Nonlinear Sci Numer Simulat 2010;15:1887-92.] proposed an equivalent description of the PPS09 cryptosystem which facilitated them in the cryptanalysis of the original cipher in terms of chosen plainext and known plaintext attacks. In this paper, we propose modifications in the Patidar et al.'s image cipher to make it robust against these two cryptanalytic attacks. The security analysis shows that the modified image cipher preserves all the good properties of the original cipher and is also capable to stand against the aforesaid attacks.
