DCT Domain Image Encryption Algorithm Based on Lorenz Chaotic System

The author proposes a novel DCT domain image encryption algorithm based on Lorenz chaotic system. The paper firstly subdivides digital image into sub-images, each of which is transformed with DCT transform. Then some DCT transform coefficients are selected with filtering. Finally the retained DCT transform coefficients are cross encrypted with three chaotic sequences which Lorenz chaotic system generates. Simulation experiments and secure performance analysis show that the algorithm has a good encryption effect and anti-attack abilities.
