Chaos-based color image block encryption scheme using S-box

A chaos-based color image encryption scheme using bijection is designed. The whole image is diffused by exclusive or (XOR) operation for random rounds, each color component is separated into blocks with the same size. A bijective function f: B -> S between block set B and S-box set S, is built. The corresponding 8 x 8 S-box is dynamically generated by the Chen system with variable conditions. The ciphered image can be obtained after substituting each block with the paired S-box. Numerical simulation and security analysis demonstrate that the scheme is practical in image encryption.
