Encrypt Images Using Mutation Methods

Abstract— As a result of the tremendous development of information and communications technology, especially after the wide spread of the internet, the process of preserving images has become a major and important subject. The most important method to preserve images is the use of encryption, which aims to ensure the preservation of the privacy of images and not allowing anyone to tamper with or view them because they are either confidential or very special. Also, no one can understand the content of those images unless they have a means of encryption. In this research, a new methods has been applied in images encryption using mutation methods. Different analysis like correlation coefficient, and histogram analysis is applied for the verification of the performance of the suggested algorithm. Matlab language has been used to implement the suggested algorithm, because of its efficiency, accuracy and flexibility in giving results.
