In this paper, a novel image encryption scheme is proposed based on permutation–diffusion architecture using cellular automata. In the permutation phase, Wolfram class III radius 2 cellular automata rules are utilized for shuffling the pixels of the plain image and in the diffusion phase; the rules based on unity attractors of elementary cellular automata are employed to encrypt the pixels of the...
