Developed lightweight cryptographic algorithms for the application of image encryption : a review

Abstract EN

As a consequence of the fast evolution of information technology, a substantial amount of digital information is created and disseminated over various kinds of networks.

The digital image represents one of the most commonly utilized formats of digital data since it has a straight visual effect.

Moreover, a digital image holds important possibilities and extra information, for instance, personal photographs are capable of conveying the persons' physical appearance as well as other details like their ages and health.

So, it is significant to protect digital images from unauthorized accessing that certainly specifies the need for developing efficient lightweight cryptographic algorithms to ensure the digital images' privacy.

In this review paper, several developed lightweight cryptographic algorithms and their application in digital image encryption were presented.

Additionally, a comparative analysis of the recently existing related works was achieved for these developed algorithms.
