Secure communication is one of the most important task of any communication system. In order to provide security
to the information which can be in the form of text, image, audio or video, encryption is used.In this paper an image
encryption algorithm is proposed which is based on chaos theory. Two chaotic maps, Arnold’s cat map and modified logistic
map, are used in this proposed algorithm. Arnold cat map is used for image scrambling and linear logistic map is first
modified and then is used for key generation. This key is then used for image encryption. This algorithm provides uniform
histogram and also reduces the correlation coefficients of encrypted image.
