Computer simulations are performed on a Matlab 7.0.0 (R14) platform to verify the security and robustness of this cryptography. An original color image comprising 128×128 pixels, as shown in Fig. 4(a), is used as the input image to be enciphered. In order to guarantee the three color components can be retrieved without being superimposed, we locate the three color components in the centered and zero-padded images (512×512 pixels) as the input plaintexts, and the three parameters (a1,b1), (a2,b2)
