ABSTRACT

With the research on the digital image encryption, one purpose of this paper is to propose an improved algorithm which compensates for the security flaws found in the traditional Self-adaptive Algorithm. The other is to develop an image encryption system based on the improved algorithm. Improved Self-adaptive Algorithm on image encryption can effectively resist the chosen-plaintext attack, cover the probability distribution of the pixels in the plaintext image and losslessly recover the plaintext image.
