Abstract

With the rapid development and convergence of systems science, cryptography, and data science, chaos-based image information security has emerged as a prominent research area, drawing considerable attention from researchers in computer science, physics, and related disciplines. This paper aims to review the fundamental concepts of chaos, as well as chaos-based image encryption, watermarking, and steganography. Building on this foundation, we analyze the evaluation standards, advancements, and applications of chaos-based image information security. Additionally, we propose several potential areas of focus for the future of chaos-based image information security, encouraging interested readers to pay attention to these crucial developments. Our analysis suggests that chaos can be effectively employed in plaintext image encryption, and that chaos-based watermarking and hiding techniques also hold promise.
