The rise in
digital communication and cloud-based data sharing has elevated the importance
of securing multimedia content, particularly images. This study introduces a
novel image scrambling and encryption technique based on M-sequences, aiming to
ensure high-level security during image storage and transmission. The proposed
method utilizes linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) to generate
M-sequences, which are then applied to scramble pixel positions and
intensities. Additionally, a graphical user interface (GUI) is developed to
facilitate user-friendly encryption and decryption processes. Unlike
traditional chaotic approaches that are vulnerable to cryptanalysis such as
chosen-plaintext attacks, the proposed system embeds key generation tightly
with image characteristics, significantly improving resistance against modern
threats. Simulation results validate the accuracy, speed, and robustness of the
system, making it a promising candidate for secure image applications in cloud
environments.
