Abstract

A dual watermark and DNA image encryption based on a chaotic map is proposed. Firstly, a new discrete chaotic map is proposed, and the dynamic characteristics are analyzed. Then, the hash value changes initial conditions, and the pseudo-random sequence is generated. The encrypted copyright image is fused with the feature value of the original image and then encrypted again to form zero-watermarking, which is registered with the copyright certification authority. The zero-watermarking is taken as a robust watermark and embedded into the original image based on a chaotic sequence to ensure its invisibility. Finally, a cross-mutation DNA encryption is proposed. The experimental results verify the performance of encryption and dual watermark copyright authentication, and the ability to resist attacks.
