Image Encryption Based On Knutt / Durstenfeld Shuffle Algorithm

Nowadays public mediums for data transmission are widely used. Studies on image encryption methods are also interested due to big importance of data security in these mediums. The main purpose of the study presented in this paper is to develop an easy to use, powerful and effective method for image encryption. In this aim, a new image encryption method based on changing pixels locations in the image by using a key string handled with well known Knutt / Durstenfeld Shuffle Algorithm is presented. It is seen that, image encryption is realized successfully with developed application as independent from image format.
