Dynamic random growth technique and a hybrid chaotic map which is proposed in this paper are used to perform block-based image encryption. The plaintext attack can easily crack the cat map, as it is periodic, and therefore cat map securely used in which it can eliminate the cyclical occurrence and withstand the plaintext attack's effect. The diffusion process calculates the intermediate parameters according to the image block. For the generation of the random data stream in the chaotic map, we use an intermediate parameter as an initial parameter. In this way, the generated data stream depends on the plain text image that can withstand the attack on plain text. The experimental results of this process prove that the proposed dynamic random growth technique and a hybrid chaotic map for image encryption is a secured one in which it can be used in secured image transmission systems.

Cryptographic hash functions play a crucial role in information security. Cryptographic hash functions are used in various cryptographic applications to verify the message authenticity and integrity. In this paper we propose a Cellular Automata Based Hashing Algorithm (CABHA) for generating strong cryptographic hash function. The proposed CABHA algorithm uses the cellular automata rules and a custom transformation function to create a strong hash from an input message and a key.

The paper considers data security and privacy issues in intelligent transportation systems which involve data streams coming out from individual vehicles to road side units. In this environment, there are issues in regards to the scalability of key management and computation limitations at the edge of the network. To address these issues, we suggest the formation of groups in the vehicular layer, where a group leader is assigned to communicate with group members and the road side unit. We propose a lightweight permutation mechanism for preserving the confidentiality and privacy of sensory data.

In this paper, a new image encryption algorithm is presented with one chaotic map and one group of secret keys. Double permutations for pixel positions are designed followed by a function of diffusion to alter gray distribution in the plain-image. In the proposed algorithm, the keystream is produced and dependent on the plain-image. As a result, the method can frustrate the known plaintext attack and chosen plaintext attack. Moreover, diffusion encryption by row-only is applied to the permuted image to save time consumption. Then, the experimental results show that our method can perform high security and is suitable for both gray and color images.
