Abstract
This paper proposes a cross-channel image chain scrambling encryption algorithm based on two 5D memristive twin multi-scroll hyperchaotic systems. Firstly, two flux-controlled memristor models are introduced based on the simplification of Chua's system, and two 5D memristive twin multi-scroll hyperchaotic systems are designed by inputting different flux variables. The twin 5D memristive multi-scroll hyperchaotic systems exhibit the characteristics of variable scroll numbers and different topological structures. Secondly, a fractal-like cross-channel encryption algorithm is proposed, which combines cross-channel scrambling of sub-image and Zigzag transformation. Based on comprehensive experimental analysis, the results reveal that the key space is determined to be 2525, the information entropy of the ciphertext images across three channels approaches 7.9994, and the pixel correlation is reduced to nearly zero. Furthermore, NPCR and UACI exhibit values close to their theoretical benchmarks of 99.6094 % and 33.4635 %, respectively, highlighting the superior performance of the proposed encryption algorithm in terms of robustness and security.
期刊介绍:
Integration''s aim is to cover every aspect of the VLSI area, with an emphasis on cross-fertilization between various fields of science, and the design, verification, test and applications of integrated circuits and systems, as well as closely related topics in process and device technologies. Individual issues will feature peer-reviewed tutorials and articles as well as reviews of recent publications. The intended coverage of the journal can be assessed by examining the following (non-exclusive) list of topics:
Specification methods and languages; Analog/Digital Integrated Circuits and Systems; VLSI architectures; Algorithms, methods and tools for modeling, simulation, synthesis and verification of integrated circuits and systems of any complexity; Embedded systems; High-level synthesis for VLSI systems; Logic synthesis and finite automata; Testing, design-for-test and test generation algorithms; Physical design; Formal verification; Algorithms implemented in VLSI systems; Systems engineering; Heterogeneous systems.
