The security guarantee of data transmission is becoming more crucial as the frequency of information interchange rises. Ensuring the security of images is essential since they serve as a vital transmission medium. This research suggests an image encryption method that combines the knight tour algorithm with a 6D fractional order hyperchaotic system. First, chaotic sequences are produced using a fractional order hyperchaotic system, which is then utilized to index order and jumble the entire image. To retrieve the image after the second scrambling, choose the knight tour beginning point and run...
