Simple and Highly Secure, Efficient and Accurate Method (SSEAM) to Encrypt-Decrypt Color Image

Abstract: Digital color image is very famous and important data type; it is used in many important vital applications such as banking systems, protection and security systems, so image protection is required. In this research paper we will introduce a simplified method of color image encryption-decryption; the method will be tested and implemented using various color images. The issues of security, efficiency and accuracy will be discussed; the obtained experimental results will be analyzed in order to raise some judgments.

Keywords: Color image, encryption, SSEAM, decryption, secret key, secret range, encryption time, efficiency measures, speedup, and throughput, MSE, PSNR.
