Abstract
The current paper suggests a new image encrypting method, which combines an original and designed Block Cellular Connection (BCC) algebra with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode. The strong validity of the suggested approach is proved by experimental assessment of conventional grayscale images with high NPCR (99.78%), UACI (33.85%), and entropy (7.99), and low correlation coefficients in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal scan directions. These findings demonstrate the possibilities of the BCC-AES-CBC hybrid to be used in secure and efficient image encryption applications.
