The research paper proposes an efficient image cryptosystem that depends on the utilization of two dimensional (2D) chaotic logistic map (CLM) and singular value decomposition (SVD). The encryption process starts by a confusion stage through applying the 2D-CLM to the input plainimage. Then, the resulted logistic transformed image is then decomposed using the SVD technique into three ciphered components; the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal components. The ciphered horizontal, vertical, and diagonal components are then transmitted to the destination which applies a reverse procedure to reconstruct the original plainimage. A matrix of encryption quality tests are performed for investigating the proposed 2D-CLM based SVD image cipher. The obtained test results confirmed and ensured the efficiency of the proposed 2D-CLM based SVD image cipher. Keywords-Image cipher; 2D-CL; SVD I. INTRODUCTION Recently, the unexpected growing in digital technology field witnessed a lot of attention. And this raises and makes the security issues of the data a critical important task especially during the transmission of sensitive data like images, audios, and videos [1-4]. Images may be utilized in different fields like medical, military, and communication fields, the images may carry important valuable information and may be shared over communication networks, so; it becomes a serious issue to maintain them secured as possible against all probable potential attacks. Plenty of works have been done in recent years and resulted in a many studies on image encryption [5-10]. Several image encoding methods were done and founded in literature like ones that depends on classical encryption like Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Data Encryption Standard (DES), Double-DES, TDES, and International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) [11-15]. Such techniques do not provide a satisfactory outcome because of image intrinsic characteristics like huge bulky capacity, high correlation, and redundancy [16-19].
