Analysis of an image encryption algorithm based on Henon chaotic map

Chaos theory, as an essential component of Modern nonlinear dynamical system theory, precisely presents regular control, provides a calculation method to encrypt images based on Henen mapping. This method produces random sequences by the specific key which utilized basic formula from Henon chaotic mapping. The random sequence is then excluded or calculated with original images to achieve the encrypted image and decoded by cipher keys. The simulation results and theoretical analysis we conducted prove the strength of this algorithm in terms of randomness, confidentiality, sensitivity, and efficiency.
