Abstract
With the increasing use of digital techniques for transmitting and storing images, the fundamental issue of protecting image data against unauthorized access, chaos-based encryption has enjoined a superb know-how to deal with the problem of fast and highly-secured image encryption. The effectiveness of the transposition cipher algorithm profusely depends on the trait of the key. If a key is badly designed or poorly selected, then the protection fails to provide proper security and improper access can be gained on the sensitive information. This work focuses on the application of a crucial Artificial Intelligence approach in block-based image transposition cipher generation. Here, Genetic Algorithm has been applied to search for effective keys to encrypt images through permutation of the pixel locations. This work also statistically analyses the effect of applying varied sizes of keys in block- based image transposition algorithm.
