The invention discloses an image
encryption method based on
RNA extended coding and
quantum chaos, and belongs to the field of information
encryption, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining a
plaintext image, coding the
plaintext image to obtain initial coding information, and generating a secret key according to the initial coding information; according to the secret key, calculating by adopting a chaos equation to obtain a pseudo-
random sequence, and transforming the pseudo-
random sequence to obtain a sequence required by
encryption; the method comprises the following steps: acquiring a three-dimensional matrix of a
plaintext image, decomposing the three-dimensional matrix into a first high-bit matrix and a first low-bit matrix, carrying out block scrambling and
RNA dynamic coding on the first high-bit matrix according to a sequence required by encryption, carrying out XOR calculation on the first low-bit matrix according to the sequence required by encryption, and carrying out XOR calculation on the first low-bit matrix according to the sequence required by encryption; carrying out cross iterative
diffusion and synthesis on the matrix subjected to
RNA dynamic coding and the matrix obtained by XOR calculation to obtain a color
ciphertext image; the security and efficiency of information encryption can be realized.
