Multiple-image encryption algorithm based on Sarrus rule and 3D Fibonacci matrix

Using images to transmit information becomes more common in the new era, but the image information can easily be stolen and tampered with the malicious damage during transmission. In this paper, firstly, inspired by the famous Sarrus rule the theory of linear algebra theory, the Sarrus model is established to scramble images; secondly, the pixel positions of plain images are scrambled with the established Sarrus model to obtain the stereo scrambled matrix; thirdly, two-dimensional Fibonacci matrix is extended to three-dimensional (3D) space; finally, the image matrix is divided into cubes which are diffused by the 3D Fibonacci matrix. Experimental analyses indicate that the new algorithm has the characteristics of large key space, high key sensitivity, high efficiency and can resist to the plaintext attacks, statistical attacks, etc.
