The parameter values are altered in a row-wise manner, which enables the usage of the same procedure also during the decryption. Furthermore, the parameter modification technique takes into account knowledge about the logistic map, its fixed points and possible periodic cycles. Since the resulting interval of parameter values achieves high positive values of Lyapunov exponents, the chaotic behavior of the logistic map should be most pronounced. These assumptions are verified by a set of experiments and the obtained numerical values are compared with those reported in relevant papers. It is found that the proposed design that uses a simpler, but well-studied, chaotic map with mitigated issues obtains results comparable with algorithms that use more complex chaotic systems. Moreover, the proposed solution is much faster than other approaches with a similar purpose.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e23111373","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,20]],"date-time":"2021-10-20T07:05:57Z","timestamp":1634713557000},"page":"1373","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["An Image Encryption Algorithm Using Logistic Map with Plaintext-Related Parameter Values"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0484-226X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jakub","family":"Oravec","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Multimedia Communications, Technical University of Kosice, Nemcovej 32, 040 01 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5594-6157","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lubos","family":"Ovsenik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Multimedia Communications, Technical University of Kosice, Nemcovej 32, 040 01 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5428-4008","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"Papaj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Multimedia Communications, Technical University of Kosice, Nemcovej 32, 040 01 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Pichler, F., and Scharinger, J.
