Abstract

This research introduces an image encryption scheme combining several permutations and substitution-based chaotic techniques, such as Arnold Chaotic Map, 2D-SLMM, 2D-LICM, and 1D-MLM. The proposed method is called Half-Inverted Cascading Chaos Cipheration (HIC3), designed to increase digital image security and confidentiality. The main problem solved is the image's degree of confusion and diffusion. Extensive testing included chi-square analysis, information entropy, NCPCR, UACI, adjacent pixel correlation, key sensitivity and space analysis, NIST randomness testing, robustness testing, and visual analysis. The results show that HIC3 effectively protects digital images from various attacks and maintains their integrity. Thus, this method successfully achieves its goal of increasing security in digital image encryption
