Abstract
Information security has been defined as one of the most critical issues in the information era, as it is utilized to protect confidential information during transfers in real-world applications. In the case of image encryption, a variety of information security approaches were used. Domain spatial and domain frequency are two domains in which such techniques can be classified. This study uses a combination of the singular value de-composition (SVD) and discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) to construct an encryption method based on a traditional watermarking system. Compared with other traditional methods, the proposed DWT-SVD approach has excellent robustness, and it has been strengthened for having high degree of the robustness against the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) attacks by utilizing a de-noising strategy based upon S-transform approach. Compared with DWT algorithm denoising approach, the results reveal that the S-transform denoising algorithm that has been deployed in the present article has a robust protection towards the Gaussian noise attack for mean squared error (MSE) around 0.005 and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) around 24 dB.
