Abstract

This paper puts forward a new algorithm that utilizes compressed sensing and two chaotic systems to complete image compression and encryption concurrently. First, the hash function was utilized to obtain the initial parameters of two chaotic maps, which were the 2D-SLIM and 2D-SCLMS maps, respectively. Second, a sparse coefficient matrix was transformed from the plain image through discrete wavelet transform. In addition, one of the chaotic sequences created by 2D-SCLMS system performed pixel transformation on the sparse coefficient matrix. The other chaotic sequences created by 2D-SLIM were utilized to generate a measurement matrix and perform compressed sensing operations. Subsequently, the matrix rotation was combined with row scrambling and column scrambling, respectively. Finally, the bit-cycle operation and the matrix double XOR were implemented to acquire the ciphertext image. Simulation experiment analysis showed that the compressed encryption scheme has advantages in compression performance, key space, and sensitivity, and is resistant to statistical attacks, violent attacks, and noise attacks.
