Watermarking for the Secure Transmission of the Key into an Encrypted Image

Ensuring the confidentiality of any data exchanged always presents a great concern for all communication instances. Technically, encryption is the ideal solution for this task. However, this process must deal with the progress of the cryptanalysis that aims to disclose the information exchanged. The risk increases due to the need for a dual transmission that includes the encrypted medium and the decryption key. In a context of chaotic encryption of images, we propose to insert the decryption key into the encrypted image using image watermarking. Thus, only the watermarked encrypted image will be transmitted. Upon reception, the recipient extracts the key and decrypts the image. The cryptosystem proposed is based on an encryption using a dynamic Look-Up Table issued from a chaotic generator. The obtained results prove the efficiency of our method to ensure a secure exchange of images and keys.
