New chaotic image encryption algorithm based on cross-mapping

Chaotic cryptography has been applied to image encryption;however,only the traditional low-dimensional chaotic systems has been widely analyzed or deciphered,which does not show satisfied security and efficiency.To solve this problem,a new algorithm based on cross-chaos map has been created in this article.The image pixels are scrambled under control of high-dimensional chaotic sequence,which is generated by cross chaotic map.The image pixels are substituted by ciphertext feedback algorithm.It can relate encryption required parameters with plaintext and can make a plaintext byte affect more ciphertext bytes.Proved by theoretical analysis and experimental results,the algorithm has higher complex degree and has passed SP800-22 pseudo-random number standard tests,and it has high encryption speed,high security,etc.It can be widely applied in the field of image encryption.
