Abstract
Multiple images have to be sent some time for different purposes. Those images encrypt individually before their sending through non-secure channel. This process is painful and also time-consuming. In this paper, multiple images are encrypted using genetic algorithm. Here, a set of crossover points and a set of values are used to diffuse and encrypt the images. These two sets are computed from a key sequence. The original images have been diffused by genetic algorithm. Bitwise XOR operation has been applied between key set and diffuse images to get encrypted images. The effectiveness of the algorithm has been tested by number of statistical tests like histogram analysis, correlation, and entropy test. A comparison is made between the proposed algorithm and other genetic-based encryption algorithm. Finally, it has been observed that the proposed algorithm is given better result in all tests with less execution time.
