Implementation of Chaotic Synchronization and Artificial Neural Networks in Modified OTP Scheme for Image Encryption.

This paper presents a modified image encryption scheme based on the OTP (One-Time Pad) algorithm, consisting of chaotic synchronization and artificial neural networks (ANNs) for improved security and efficiency. The scheme uses chaotic synchronization based on feedback control to create complex and unique encryption keys. Additionally, ANNs are used to approximate time functions, creating a neural encoding key, which adds an additional layer of complexity to the encryption process. The proposed scheme integrates static, chaotic, and neural keys in a multilayer structure, providing high resistance against statistical and cryptographic attacks. The results show that the proposed methodology achieves entropy values close to the theoretical maximum, effectively destroys the correlation between pixels, and demonstrates high sensitivity to variations in the input data. The proposed scheme shows very good feasibility in terms of both security and efficiency, which gives a reliable solution for secure image transmission and storage. This is proven by a study of resistance to various crypto-graphic attacks such as brute force attack, differential attack, noise and data cut attacks, key sensitivity, and computational complexity.
