An efficient image encryption scheme based on ordered quasi-resonant Rossby/drift wave triads and Mordell elliptic curves
share
We propose an image encryption scheme based on quasi-resonant Rossby/drift wave triads (related to elliptic surfaces) and Mordell elliptic curves (MECs). By defining a total order on quasi-resonant triads, at a first stage we construct quasi-resonant triads using auxiliary parameters of elliptic surfaces in order to generate pseudo-random numbers. At a second stage, we employ a MEC to construct a dynamic substitution box (S-box) for the plain-image. The generated pseudo-random numbers and S-box are used respectively to provide diffusion and confusion in the tested image. We test the proposed scheme against well-known attacks by encrypting all gray images taken from the USC-SIPI image database. Our experimental results indicate the high security of the newly developed scheme. Finally, via extensive comparisons we show that the new scheme outperforms other popular schemes.
