M. Tech. Electrical engineering. / Discusses a desirable chaos-based encryption scheme for image storage and transmission is one that can resist different types of attacks in less time and with successful decryption. To resist different kinds of attacks, a higher security level is required. As a result, there is a need to enhance the security level of existing chaos-based image encryption schemes using hyper-chaos. To increase the level of security using hyper-chaos, the research will present a scheme that combines two different techniques that are used to improve the degree of security of chaos-based cryptography; a classical chaos-based cryptographic technique and a hyper-chaos masking technique. The first technique focuses on the efficient combination and transformation of image characteristics based on hyper-chaos pseudorandom numbers. The second technique focuses on driving the hyper-chaos system by using the results of the first technique to change the transmitted chaos dynamic as well as using synchronisation and a high-order differentiator for decryption. To achieve the objective of our research the following sub-problems are addressed.
