摘要：Image encryption is one of the most methods of information hiding. A novel secure encryption method for image hiding is presented in this paper. The proposed method provides good confusion and diffusion properties that ensures high security due to mixing the two Boolean operations: XOR and Rotation that are done on the bits of the pixels in the image. This method is implemented by firstly doing a sequential XOR operation on all the bits of pixels in the image, and secondly makes a circular rotate right of these bits. These two operations are repeated many times during the encryption phase. The security and performance of the proposed encryption method have been evaluated by applying it on images and analyze the recorded results using key space analysis, key sensitivity analysis, and statistical analysis. The performance experiments show that the proposed method is promising to use effectively in wide fields of image encryption.
