AI summary

A quantum method that uses the Mz quantum circuit that receives a given single chaotic value to generate strong quantum key stream of three keys. The method includes encrypting a quantum plain color image; applying set of CNOT gates between qubits of a quantum image and qubits of a quantum key to obtain a quantum encrypted image; generating a new quantum key, applying additional set of CNOT gates between the qubits the quantum color image, and the corresponding qubits of the quantum key as target qubits; performing a quantum plain scrambling (QPS) operation; and applying set of CNOT gates; and obtaining, by the quantum circuit, a quantum ciphered image.
