“…In 1989, Mathews presented the concept of chaotic encryption (Matthews, 1984). Following Mathew's novel idea, many researchers have turned their attention towards chaos-based image encryption and S-box construction techniques Anees et al, 2014a;Khan et al, 2015a;Younas and Ahmad, 2014;Anees et al, 2014b;Dawei et al, 2004;Huang and Guan, 2005;Li and Zheng, 2002;Ahmad and Ahmed, 2010;Rehman et al, 2016;Khan et al, 2015b;Habib et al, 2017). These chaos-based image encryption algorithms have lots of merits, such as the large key space, ergodicity and sensitivity to the secret keys.…”
