A new multiple image encryption algorithm using hyperchaotic systems, SVD, and modified RC5

Secure image encryption is critical for protecting sensitive data such as satellite imagery, which is pivotal for national security and environmental monitoring. However, existing encryption methods often face challenges such as vulnerability to traffic analysis, limited randomness, and insufficient resistance to attacks. To address these gaps, this article proposes a novel multiple image encryption (MIE) algorithm that integrates hyperchaotic systems, Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), counter mode RC5, a chaos-based Hill cipher, and a custom S-box generated via a modified Blum Blum Shub (BBS) algorithm. The proposed MIE algorithm begins by merging multiple satellite images into an augmented image, enhancing…
