Therefore, security and privacy has become an important. Over the last few years several encryption algorithms have applied to secure image transmission. This paper is a review on the aspects and approaches of design an image cryptosystem. First a general introduction given for cryptography and images encryption and followed by different techniques in image encryption and related works for each technique surveyed. Finally, general security analysis methods for encrypted images are mentioned. %K analysis %K cryptography %K encryption %K image %K image transmission %K security. %U http://www.ijrte.org/attachments/File/v1i6/F0389021613.pdf
