Image Encryption: A Communication Perspective

Investigating image encryption approaches, this book examines image encryption algorithms for the purpose of wireless communication of images in secure form. It considers two directions for image encryption: permutation-based encryption and diffusion-based encryption. Covering the range of image encryption principles and techniques, it presents hybrid encryption algorithms to enhance the characteristics of traditional algorithms. It explores number theory-based encryption algorithms, details the strength of different encryption algorithms, and describes their ability to work within the limitations of wireless communication systems.
