1. This document presents a new approach for color image encryption based on the Henon-like chaotic map. The algorithm separates the RGB components of an image, encrypts one component using a Henon chaotic map to generate a random bitstream, and then performs a bitwise XOR with the original pixel values of that component. 2. The Henon map is a discrete dynamical system that exhibits chaotic behavior. This property of sensitivity to initial conditions is leveraged to generate encryption keys. The proposed algorithm uses a Henon-like map containing a frequency control parameter to maintain chaotic behavior. 3. Experimental results demonstrate the encryption achieves a uniform distribution of pixel values and differences in histograms between plain and cipher images, indicating the
