A new image encryption system using self programmable cellular automata stream cipher

Abstract EN

With the ever growing in digital image processing and network communication, the cryptography protocols have become an essential requirement for the protection of the information’s in communication and in storage of digital image.

In this paper, we present a novel image security system based on 1-D Self Programmable Cellular Automata (SPCA).

The reconfigurable architecture design and the hardware implementation on a reconfigurable platform Virtex II XC2V1000-6fg456 FPGA device of the proposed cryptosystem are described.

In our scheme we used the 1-D SPCA to generate a high quality of key stream.

The experimental results show the high quality of the encrypted image.
