S-Box Design Based on 2D Multiple Collapse Chaotic Map and Their Application in Image Encryption.

As an essential part of an encryption system, the performance of a chaotic map is critical for system security. However, there are many defects for the existing chaotic maps. The low-dimension (LD) ones are easily predicted and are vulnerable to be attacked, while high-dimension (HD) ones have a low iteration speed. In this paper, a 2D multiple collapse chaotic map (2D-MCCM) was designed, which had a wide chaos interval, a high complexity, and a high iteration speed. Then, a new chaotic S-box was constructed based on 2D-MCCM, and a diffusion method was designed based on the S-box, which improved security and efficiency. Based on these, a new image encryption algorithm was proposed. Performance analysis showed that the encryption algorithm had high security to resist all kinds of attacks easily.
