In recent years, the proliferation of digital imagery and data sharing across resource
constrained devices has heightened the need for efficient, secure image encryption techniques. This paper
proposes a low-resource image encryption algorithm based on adaptive key generation, which provides strong
encryption while minimizing computational and memory demands. The proposed method leverages an adaptive
key generation approach that dynamically adjusts to the image content and device constraints, producing
encryption keys tailored to each image's unique features. This adaptability enhances security while optimizing
performance, making the algorithm well-suited for devices with limited resources, such as IoT devices, mobile
devices, and embedded systems. Experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm provides robust encryption
and resistance to common attacks with low computational complexity, making it a viable solution for secure
image transmission on resource-constrained platforms.
