• Abstract: In this digital era, ensuring the security of digital data during transmission and storage is crucial. Digital data, particularly image data, needs to be protected against unauthorized access. To address this, this paper presents a novel image encryption scheme based on a confusion diffusion architecture. The diffusion module introduces a novel geometric block permutation technique, which effectively scrambles the pixels based on geometric shape extraction of pixels. The image is converted into four blocks, and pixels are extracted from these blocks using L-shape, U-shape, square-shape, and inverted U-shape patterns for each block, respectively. This robust extraction and permutation effectively disrupts the correlation within the image. Furthermore, the confusion module utilises bit-XOR and dynamic substitution techniques. For the bit-XOR operation, 2D Henon map has been utilised to generate a chaotic seed matrix, which is bit-XORed with the scrambled image. The resultant image then undergoes the dynamic substitution process to complete confusion phase. A statistical security analysis demonstrates the superior security of the proposed scheme, with being high uncertainty and unpredictability, achieving an entropy of 7.9974 and a correlation coefficient of 0.0014. These results validate the proposed scheme's effectiveness in securing digital images.
