This paper proposes a novel image block encryption algorithm based on three-dimensional Chen chaotic dynamical system. The algorithm works on 32-bit image blocks with a 192-bit secret key. The idea is that the key is employed to drive the Chen's system to generate a chaotic sequence that is inputted to a specially designed function G, in which we use new 8x8 S-boxes generated by chaotic maps Tang, 2005. In order to improve the robustness against differental cryptanalysis and produce desirable avalanche effect, the function G is iteratively performed several times and its last outputs serve as the keystreams to encrypt the original image block. The design of the encryption algorithm is described along with security analyses. The results from key space analysis, differential attack analysis, and information entropy analysis, correlation analysis of two adjacent pixels prove that the proposed algorithm can resist cryptanalytic, statistical and brute force attacks, and achieve a higher level of security. The algorithm can be employed to realize the security cryptosystems over the Internet.
