Description
Summary:This paper proposes an effective image encryption algorithm based on the transformational prospective synchronization of a fractional-order hyperchaotic system. Compared with other chaos-based algorithms, fractional orders and synchronization precision are added as secret keys. It is shown that fractional-order, in comparison with its integer counterpart, has bigger complexity and larger key-space. Numerical simulation test results and security analyses demonstrate good performance of the proposed algorithm by encrypting the color image, gray medical image, and binary image. Furthermore, it is found that the synchronization precision accounted for in the decryption process has a significant effect on the decryption resolution.
