Abstract :The development of a hybrid approach for underwater IoT communication involves the integration of chaotic map algorithms with acoustic wave technology to ensure efficient transmission of data through the water. The Arnold Cat Map algorithm is a chaotic image scrambling technique that rearranges the pixels of an image through a mathematical transformation, creating a seemingly random pattern. A particularly intriguing application is the use of complex steganography, which is traditionally employed for image scrambling, to generate sound files for underwater communication. In this novel approach, the algorithm first scrambles an image, converting it into a sophisticated sound file. This sound file, which consists of a series of acoustic waves, is transmitted through the water, where sound waves are the primary communication medium due to their superior ability to travel underwater. Upon receipt, the sound waves are transformed back into their image form using an inverse transformation. By reversing the Arnold’s cat map algorithm, the scrambled image is decoded, revealing the original message. This hybrid strategy leverages the power of acoustic waves in underwater communication and the encryption capabilities of image processing algorithms, providing a secure and efficient communication method. It addresses issues such as signal attenuation and noise interference, making it a promising solution for complex underwater IoT systems that require high security and reliability. The combination of image scrambling and acoustic wave transmission creates a sophisticated communication system capable of handling complex maritime IoT applications, thus enhancing the underwater communications.
