Chaotic image encryption based on bit level cubic shuffle

A chaos based image encryption algorithm, utilizing a three level binary shuffling and XOR operations

The code implements the encryption method proposed in the following work:

Please cite this work if you use the code below.

The code performs a three level shuffling on the binary representation of the image, effectively shuffling all rows, columns, and bit planes. Then an XOR is performed. Details on the algorithm can be found in the paper. The code is also implemented in a GUI, mentioned in the Acknowledgments.
