Secure and Efficient Image Encryption for UAVs Using 4D Chaotic System

P. Vishnu Vardhan, et al.

Developed as an outcome of the Interdisciplinary Project (IDP 100) at SRM University AP. Designed and evaluated an ultra-fast, robust image cryptosystem tailored for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Utilizing a custom 4-dimensional hyper-chaotic mathematical map, the system generates high-entropy sequences to encrypt air-to-ground image feeds. Won the prestigious Best Paper Award under the Security and Privacy track.
