Abstract
Cryptographic image block encryption schemes play a significant role in information enabled services. This paper proposes an image block encryption scheme based on a novel three stage selection (TSS) method in a public cloud with reversible cellular automata. Due to the openness of public cloud, different attacks are possible over user sensitive information. The TSS method has three stages and they generate a robust master key with user plaintext as input and produces an encrypted block as key to be sent to authenticated users. An analysis of experimental results shows that this new method has a large key space and immune to brute force attacks, statistical cryptanalysis attacks and chosen plaintext attacks. Also, the encrypted image entropy value could be increased to 7.9988 making it ideal for a best image block encryption for key generation.
