摘      要：Encryption algorithms are one of the methods to protect dataduring its transmission through an unsafe transmission medium. But encryptionmethods need a lot of time during encryption and decryption, so itis necessary to find encryption algorithms that consume little time whilepreserving the security of the data. In this paper, more than one algorithmwas combined to obtain high security with a short implementation time. Achaotic system, DNA computing, and Salsa20 were combined. A proposed5D chaos system was used to generate more robust keys in a Salsa algorithmand DNA computing. Also, the confusion is performed using a new *** proposed chaos system achieves three positive Lyapunov *** results demonstrate of the proposed scheme has a sufficient peak signalto-noise ratio, a low correlation, and a large key space. These factors makeit more efficient than its classical counterpart and can resist statistical anddifferential attacks. The number of changing pixel rates (NPCR) and theunified averaged changed intensity (UACI) values were 0.99710 and UACI33.68. The entropy oscillates from 7.9965 to 7.9982 for the tested encryptedimages. The suggested approach is resistant to heavy attacks and takes lesstime to execute than previously discussed methods, making it an efficient,lightweight image encryption scheme. The method provides lower correlationcoefficients than other methods, another indicator of an efficient imageencryption system. Even though the proposed scheme has useful applicationsin image transmission, it still requires profound improvement in implementingthe high-intelligence scheme and verifying its feasibility on devices with theInternet of Things (IoT) enabled.
