Mohit Kumar, Anju Chahal . An Image Encryption Technique to Remove the Drawback of the One-Dimensional Scrambling Method of Image Encryption. International Journal of Computer Applications. 97, 12 ( July 2014), 18-22. DOI=10.5120/17058-7420
Images are gaining popularity in communication, entertainment and business etc. Some images can have confidential information so the security of these confidential images is a crucial issue. There is the image encryption technique that uses a one-dimensional random scrambling and provides security to secret images. The drawback of this technique is that it does not produce different histogram from the histogram of original image even after encryption procedure and this unchanged histogram reveals useful information about the original image. In this paper, an image encryption method is proposed that eliminates this drawback and provides better security than algorithm that uses one dimensional random scrambling.
