An Image Encryption Algorithm Based On Fractal Geometry

This paper introduces an effective image encryption method based on fractals for colored images. Fractals are now widely used in image security due to its randomness property and infinite boundaries. Since images are traversed over the public channel in day-to-day life confidentiality, integrity and authenticity must be pledged for prosperous transmission. This method capsulizes a larger key space and complex behavior to accomplish a productive confusion and diffusion techniques in a fruitful way. Julia set and Mandelbrot set are constructed and active confusion is exerted till the image pixels are altogether disordered and ensuing diffusion with XOR operation. Experimental results show the ability of the proposed system with respect to various statistical measures.
