Chaotic mapping has been widely used in image encryption given the unpredictability, ergodicity, and sensitivity of parameters and initial values and the high correspondence with cryptography. The logistic map has the disadvantages of uneven distribution, low security, and small parameter space. In order to overcome these disadvantages, in this article, a new chaotic map based on a real‐time variable logistic map with a randomly selected decimal is proposed. Furthermore, this chaotic mapping is applied to image encryption. Several simulation experiments show that the new encryption algorithm can obtain a safely encrypted image at a minimal time complexity.
