Abstract
In this article, the authors proposed, implemented and analysed a symmetric key cryptographic algorithm that can be considered as a lossless encryption and decryption technique, advantageous especially in situations where, even a slight marginal distortion is not tolerable. In the proposed system, Haar wavelet is used initially, to transform the original target image into its frequency domain, followed by encrypting the resulting sub-bands, so as to obtain a secure and reliable encrypted image. The resulting coefficients after Haar decomposition is scattered using a reversible weighing factor, suitably reversed and swapped to get the secure encrypted image. The encrypted image is then correspondingly decrypted, by the reverse process to get back the original decrypted image. Statistical testing and security methods were used to evaluate and analyse the proposed cryptosystem and the results showed that the proposed system is cryptographically resistant to attacks and is also highly secure when compared to other cryptographic systems in the frequency domain.
