Secure image encryption based on an ideal new nonlinear discrete dynamical system by Lin, M. Rongming, Ng, Teng Yong

“…Extensive numerical experiment results have revealed that the proposed image encryption algorithm offers advantages of unlimited key space and high-level security, since those problematic periodic windows are no longer present within the key space, and it is extremely robust against known-plain-text attack, since the chaotic sequence generated bears no correlation whatsoever due to the folding effect of modulo operation. …”
