Image encryption algorithm based on rubik’s cube principal

Abstract

In the era of rapid digital advancement, the pervasive use of images containing sensitive information has given rise to a critical requirement for stringent security measures and advanced encryption techniques. In This master's thesis the application of the Rubik's Cube principle in image encryption is explored. The Rubik's Cube algorithm provides a unique framework for data manipulation and transformation. By leveraging this principle, a robust and highly secure image encryption method is proposed. The proposed approach involves applying Rubik's Cube transformations to pixel values, shuffling the image data through rotations and permutations. This process introduces complexity, making unauthorized decryption without the correct key virtually impossible. A key advantage of this method is its reversibility, enabling faithful reconstruction of the original image during decryption. The incorporation of the Rubik's Cube principle adds an additional layer of complexity and nonlinearity, enhancing the security of the encrypted image
