Review on Latin Square Image Cipher Based Encryption

Abstract

We introduce a symmetric-key Latin square image cipher (LSIC) for grayscale, colour images as well as videos. Here is a list of contributions to the image encryption circle, A) Latin Square Image encryption primitives are developed including, Latin Square whitening, S-BOX and P-BOX, B) A new way is provided for integration of probabilistic encryption in encryption of images by embedding it with random noise in the least significant image bit-plane and C) Therefore, a LSIC is constructed with the above Latin Square Image Encryption primitives, on a keyed Latin Square in a brand new loom like substitution-permutation network. Hence, the proposed Latin Square Image Cipher may achieve several wanted properties of a safe cipher including, high key sensitivities, evenly distributed cipher text, a sufficient key space, very good diffusion and confusion properties, and lastly robustness against channel noise.
