This paper presents a new symmetric scheme for enciphering digital images. The proposal
is based on the combination of chaos and cellular automata (CA) under the scenarios of one …

This paper presents a new image encryption/decryption scheme. The behavior of a number
of elementary cellular automata (ECA) of length 8 with periodic boundary conditions is …

We propose a novel images encryption schema based on reversible one-dimensional
cellular automata. Contrasting to the sequential operating mode of several existing …

On the basis of the analysis and classification of the 256 elementary cellular automata, a
kind of non-affine and balanced cellular automata with complex behavior are used as basic …

Due to the highly mobile and continuously changing topology, the major problem in
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) is how and where the collected information is to be …

Photonic-based implementation of advanced computing tasks is a potential alternative to
mitigate the bandwidth limitations of electronics. Despite the inherent advantage of a large …

In recent years, the efficiency of cellular automata-based image cryptosystems has drawn a
great interest to deal with the problematic of fast and highly secure image encryption. In this …

Over the last few years, an increasing number of publications has shown that living
organisms are very effective in finding solutions to complex mathematical problems which …

Robots and Automata are notionally related. In this context, Automata (originated from the
latinization of the Greek word “αυτόµατoν”) as self-operating autonomous machines …

We propose a new tweakable construction of block-enciphers using second-order reversible
cellular automata, and we apply it to encipher RGB-colored images. The proposed …
