Encryption and decryption techniques controlled by keys maintain the privacy of the substance and who can access it. Private key cryptography refers to methods of encryption and decryption that employ the same secret key. The alternative is public key cryptography, wherever the encryption and decryption keys are different. It is essential for the sanctuary of any crypto scheme that the confusion and diffusion properties be met. While the diffusion property rearranges the pixels in an image, the confusion property simply replaces the pixel values. In-depth discussion of a genetic-algorithm-based hybrid approach to secure and complex three-dimensional chaos-based image encryption (SCIE) has been presented. Here, we use mathematics edge, multipoint edges operator, and coupled transmutation operatives to accomplish permutation. In this method, a key stream is created using a 3D CSI (Compound Sine and ICMIC) map. Using a private key, hybrid operators are used to encrypt data. Several metrics were considered while evaluating the suggested algorithm's efficacy, including the UACI (Unified Average Change Intensity), correlation constant, NPCR (Net Pixel Change Rate). Experiments with the same have shown promising results in protecting real-time photos. 2021 42 52 1809 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10.54216/JCIM.080105 https://www.americaspg.com/journal/2/article/1809 https://www.americaspg.com/storage/41684415794.pdf
