Summary: | In the Internet of Things environment, the secure transmission of digital images has attracted much attention. To improve the confidentiality, we propose an image cryptosystem adopting a quantum chaotic map and the certain security-enhanced mechanisms. Firstly, we use the good random characteristics of quantum chaotic sequences to enhance security performance. Then, we introduce a plaintext correlation mechanism and a diffusion-permutation-diffusion structure in the cryptosystem. Finally, we verify the cryptosystem on a common secure communication platform. The theoretical and statistical analysis results demonstrate that the cryptosystem has excellent performance and can resist various cryptographic attacks. Moreover, feasibility and effectiveness of the image cryptosystem are verified on the Internet of Things secure communication experimental platform. It proves that the proposed image cryptosystem is a preferred and promising secure communication technology solution.
