Abstract
The generation, storage, and transmission of digital images have become ubiquitous in today’s interconnected world. Ensuring the security of these images is a critical challenge that demands immediate attention. This study proposes a novel image encryption algorithm designed to address these concerns effectively. The proposed framework leverages the unique properties of three key constructs: the Wireworld cellular automaton, the 1D logistic chaotic map, and the piecewise linear chaotic map. The 1D logistic chaotic map is employed to generate random numbers, which are used to initialize the Wireworld cellular automaton. The automaton, in turn, introduces scrambling effects into the plaintext image, effectively disrupting its pixel arrangement. Additionally, the piecewise linear chaotic map is utilized to achieve diffusion effects, further enhancing the security of the encryption process.…
