摘要

This study proposes a fast image encryption method for color images, integrating an autoencoder to compress the image and a 6D hyperchaotic system to ensure enhanced security. Initially, a hash value is obtained from the original color image. The hash value, which serves as the secret key of the proposed encryption method, is used to initialize the state variables of the hyperchaotic system, which produces six distinct pseudo-random sequences. The input image is then compressed into a latent image (lossy) using a Vision Transformer Autoencoder model. This latent image is scrambled using chaotic sequences and a Random Shuffle technique. Diffusion is achieved through the Trifid Cipher transformation, which utilizes the remaining chaotic sequences to manipulate pixel values, thereby yielding a cipher version of the latent image. The suggested technique is faster and significantly enhances security compared to the state-of-the-art methods. This method achieves an average entropy of 7.9986, a correlation coefficient close to zero \(\approx\) 0.00004, and key sensitivity analysis gives NPCR = 99.6110% and UACI = 33.4637%. Moreover, the key space of \(2^{512}\) confirms that the proposed scheme offers strong resistance against brute-force attacks.
