Hyperchaos‐Driven 3D RGB Image Scrambling and Encryption for Multi‐Image Security

IET Image Processing, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
The proposed encryption scheme scrambles N colour images by stacking them into a three‐dimensional red, green, blue image, generating a secure 256‐bit key using SHA‐256 and a user‐provided salt, and applying a five‐dimensional multi‐wing hyperchaotic system to produce random key streams.
