Abstract

Encrypting pictures quickly and securely is required to secure image transmission over the internet and local networks. This may be accomplished by employing a chaotic scheme with ideal properties such as unpredictability and non-periodicity. However, practically every modern-day system is a real-time system, for which time is a critical aspect for achieving the availability of the encrypted picture at the proper moment. From there, we must improve encryption's performance and efficiency. For these goals, we adopted the distributed parallel programming model, namely, the message passing interface (MPI), in this study. Using the message passing interface, we created a novel parallel crypto-system. The suggested approach outperforms other models by 1.5 times. The suggested parallel encryption technique is applicable.
