CHAOS-BASED SECURE IMAGE CRYPTOSYSTEM

Project Domain / Category

Network Based Project

Abstract / Introduction
The rapid progress of Internet in the digital world today, the security of digital images has become more
and more important. The prevalence of multimedia technology in our society has promoted digital
images to play a more significant role, which demands a serious protection of users privacy. To fulfill
such security and privacy needs in various applications, encryption of images is very important to
minimize malicious attacks from unauthorized parties.

This project is intended to the people who need privacy for their confidential images. It was most
suitable in the networking Systems. Although there are many image encryption techniques none of
them are suitable for the networking systems. So the main scope of this project was to provide security
for the images in the networking systems. This project provides safe ways of means to transfer images
between the networking systems confidentially.

Existing System
There are traditional image encryption techniques like DES, Triple-DES and IDEA. These image
encryption techniques have some Limitations such as:

o Requires large data size

o Long computational time
o High computing power
o Not suitable for practical image encryption and for online communications

Proposed System
The proposed system aims to explore the possibility of using chaotic or chaos-based encryption
techniques to protect remote sensing satellite images and provides high level of security in efficient and
reliable way.

Chaos based cryptographic scheme provides

o High security level

o Less computational time and power in reliable and efficient way to deal with balky, difficult and
intractable data
o More suitable for multimedia data, especially for images

NUMBER OF MODULES
In Chaotic Image Encryption Techniques, there are mainly three modules:

1) Administrative
2) User
3) Encryption Module
4) Decryption Module
5) File Transfer Module

Administrative Module
o Maintains the user accountability
o Controls the user activities

User Module
The people who use this system for providing security for confidential images are users. There may be
different set of users for this system.

o The users just load an image to encrypt.

o Enter the destination systems IP address to transfer the image.
o User can view the status of the network for the sent image.

Encryption Module
o Selects the image
o Providing key for Encryption

Decryption Module
o Enter the key for Decryption

File Transfer Module

o Provide the view of the entering IP address for file transfer module

Functional Requirements
1) User login
2) Select image for encryption
3) Encoding image
4) Generation of encryption technique window with output path location and encryption password
5) Status of the Encryption Mechanism
6) Entering IP address of receiver
7) Conforming the host system
8) Status of the sending image in network
 9) File Status at receiver side
10) Decrypting the Image
11) View of the original image
