Image encryption based on double-humped and delayed logistic maps for biomedical applications

This paper presents a secured highly sensitive image encryption system suitable for biomedical applications. The pseudo random number generator of the presented system is based on two discrete logistic maps. The employed maps are: the one dimensional double humped logistic map as well as the two-dimensional delayed logistic map. Different analyses are introduced to measure the performance of the proposed encryption system such as: histogram analysis, correlation coefficients, MAE, NPCR as well as UACI measurements. The encryption system is proven to be highly sensitive to ±0.001% perturbation of the logistic maps parameters. The system is tested on medical images of palm print as well as Parkinson disease MRI images. © 2017 IEEE.
