| Short Description of the Research Theme |
Everybody wants to maintain solitariness to some extent or entirely in his dealings with other people during different modes of communication. To retain privacy, researchers materialized distinct image encryption algorithms. A distinctive approach can be used to generate a key stream using a combination of multi-dimensional chaotic maps. Security and statistical analysis are used to verify the encryption methods. An ample key space is important for the security of data. |
