In this paper, a secure and fast chaotic image encryption scheme with simultaneous permutation-diffusion operation is proposed. We combine permutation and diffusion processes into a whole, namely, simultaneous permutation and diffusion operation (SPDO). This can solve the problem of traditional encryption scheme in which the permutation and diffusion are two independent processes, that leads attackers to crack the two processes separately. In SPDO, the initial value of the current Sine-Sine chaotic map is related to the secret keys and the previous encrypted pixels' values. In this case, the proposed scheme can generate dynamic key streams and indexes that are related to plaintext, which improves the sensitivity to plaintext for the encryption scheme. In addition, the pixel values are processed by row and column (rowlevel and column-level) during the encryption procedure. Thus, the proposed scheme presents lower time complexity and faster running speed compared with bit-level or pixel-level image encryption schemes, which makes the proposed scheme be conducive to the batch transmission and real-time transmission of digital images. The simulation results and security analysis show that our scheme can resist common attacks, such as statistical attack, differential attack, chosen plaintext attack and other comprehensive attacks.
