The composite discrete chaotic system (CDCS) is a complex chaotic system that combines two or more discrete chaotic systems. This system holds the chaotic characteristics of different chaotic systems in a random way and has more complex chaotic behaviors. In this paper, we aim to provide a novel image encryption algorithm based on a new two-dimensional (2D) CDCS. The proposed scheme consists of two parts: firstly, we propose a new 2D CDCS and analysis the chaotic behaviors, then, we introduce the bit-level permutation and pixel-level diffusion encryption architecture with the new CDCS to form the full proposed algorithm. Random values and the total information of the plain image are added into the diffusion procedure to enhance the security of the proposed algorithm. Both the theoretical analysis and simulations confirm the security of the proposed algorithm.
A combination of two or more chaotic maps were also analyzed to enhance the complexity of the cryptosystem REF .
