IMAGE ENCRYPTION AND DECRYPTION USING CHAOTICDNA ALGORITHM

Abstract

Image communication is widely used in personal, medical, military, and professional applications. With the rapid increase in digital image transmission over open networks, ensuring image security has become a critical challenge. Unauthorized access, hacking, and data manipulation can lead to serious information loss and privacy issues. The Image Encryption and Decryption project using a Chaotic DNA Algorithm aims to provide strong protection for digital images. It combines chaotic maps and DNA computing techniques to perform secure pixel scrambling and encoding. The encrypted image can be safely transmitted and accurately recovered only with the correct secret keys, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and reliable image security.
