Image Encryption: A Communication Perspective

by Fathi E. Abd El-Samie, Hossam Eldin H. Ahmed, Ibrahim F. Elashry, Mai H. Shahieen, Osama S. Faragallah

Overview

Investigating image encryption approaches, this book examines image encryption algorithms for the purpose of wireless communication of images in secure form. It considers two directions for image encryption: permutation-based encryption and diffusion-based encryption. Covering the range of image encryption principles and techniques, it presents hybrid encryption algorithms to enhance the characteristics of traditional algorithms. It explores number theory-based encryption algorithms, details the strength of different encryption algorithms, and describes their ability to work within the limitations of wireless communication systems.
