Optical image encryption by random shifting in fractional Fourier domains

A number of methods have recently been proposed in the literature for the encryption of two-dimensional information by use of optical systems based on the fractional Fourier transform. Typically, these methods require random phase screen keys for decrypting the data, which must be stored at the receiver and must be carefully aligned with the received encrypted data. A new technique based on a random shifting, or jigsaw, algorithm is proposed. This method does not require the use of phase keys. The image is encrypted by juxtaposition of sections of the image in fractional Fourier domains. The new method has been compared with existing methods and shows comparable or superior robustness to blind decryption. Optical implementation is discussed, and the sensitivity of the various encryption keys to blind decryption is examined.     

Fractional Fourier transform based image multiplexing and encryption technique for four-color images using input images as keys

A digital technique for multiplexing and encryption of four RGB images has been proposed using the fractional Fourier transform (FRT). The four input RGB images are first converted into their indexed image formats and subsequently multiplexed into a single image through elementary mathematical steps prior to the encryption. The encryption algorithm uses two random phase masks in the input- and the FRT domain, respectively. These random phase masks are especially designed using the input images. As the encryption is carried out through a single channel, the technique is more compact and faster as compared to the multichannel techniques. Different fractional orders, the random masks in input-, and FRT domain are the keys for decryption as well as de-multiplexing. The algorithms to implement the proposed multiplexing-, and encryption scheme are discussed, and results of digital simulation are presented. Simulation results show that the technique is free from cross-talk. The performance of the proposed technique has also been analyzed against occlusion, noise, and attacks using partial windows of the correct random phase keys. The robustness of the technique against known-, and chosen plain-text attacks has also been explained.     

Single-channel color image encryption based on asymmetric cryptosystem

A single-channel color image encryption is proposed based on asymmetric cryptosystem. The color components respectively multiplied with three random phase encryption keys are first combined into one gray image using convolution for further encoding into a real-value gray ciphertext with the asymmetric cryptosystem. Then four decryption keys, which are different from encryption keys and generated in the encryption process, can be used for image decryption. As a result, a more compact and robust system, permitting a real-value gray ciphertext to be transmitted, has been obtained. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are demonstrated by numerical results.     

Double image encryption based on iterative fractional Fourier transform

We present an image encryption algorithm to simultaneously encrypt two images into a single one as the amplitudes of fractional Fourier transform with different orders. From the encrypted image we can get two original images independently by fractional Fourier transforms with two different fractional orders. This algorithm can be independent of additional random phases as the encryption/decryption keys. Numerical results are given to analyze the capability of this proposed method. A possible extension to multi-image encryption with a fractional order multiplexing scheme has also been given.     

Color image encryption and decryption using fractional Fourier transform

We propose the encryption of color images using fractional Fourier transform (FRT). The image to be encrypted is first segregated into three color channels: red, green, and blue. Each of these channels is encrypted independently using double random phase encoding in the FRT domain. The different fractional orders and random phase masks used during the process of encryption and decryption are the keys to enhance the security of the proposed system. The algorithms to implement the proposed encryption and decryption scheme are discussed, and results of digital simulation are presented. The technique is shown to be a powerful one for colored text encryption. We also outline the implementation of the algorithm and examine its sensitiveness to changes in the fractional order during decryption.     

Double-image self-encoding and hiding based on phase-truncated Fourier transforms and phase retrieval

We propose a method to encrypt two covert images into an overt image based on phase-truncated Fourier transforms and phase retrieval. In this method, the two original images are self-encoded in the manner that one of the two images is directly separated into two phase masks (PMs) and used as keys for encryption, and then multiplied by a PM which is generated by using phase retrieval algorithm. At last, the whole encryption process is completed by a Fourier transform operation. In the decryption process, the image without a separation and the two PMs used as keys for encryption are all treated as encoded data. The cryptosystem is asymmetric which means the keys for encryption are different from those for decryption. Numerical simulations are presented to show the viability and good performance of the proposed method.     

Optical multiple-image encryption based on phase encoding algorithm in the Fresnel transform domain

A novel method of the optical multiple-image encryption based on the modified Gerchberg–Saxton algorithm (MGSA) is presented. This proposed method with an architecture of two adjacent phase only functions (POFs) in the Fresnel transform (FrT) domain that can extremely increase capacity of system for completely avoiding the crosstalk between the decrypted images. Each encrypted target image is separately encoded into a POF by using the MGSA which is with constraining the encrypted target image. Each created POF is then added to a prescribed fixed POF composed of a proposed MGSA-based phase encoding algorithm. Not only the wavelength and multiple-position parameters in the FrT domain as keys to increase system security, the created POFs are also served mutually as the encryption keys to decrypt target image based on cascading two POFs scheme. Compared with prior methods [23], [24], the main advantages of this proposed encryption system is that it does not need any transformative lenses and that makes it very efficient and easy to implement optically. Simulation results show that this proposed encryption system can successfully achieve the multiple-image encryption with multiple-position keys, which is more advantageous in security than previous work [24] for its decryption process with only two POFs keys to accomplish this task.     

Encryption of color images using MSVD in DCST domain

In this paper, a new image encryption and decryption algorithm based on Multiresolution Singular Value Decomposition (MSVD) and Discrete Cosine Stockwell Transform (DCST) is proposed. An original image is first transformed in DCST domain and then decomposed into four subbands using MSVD, all the four subbands are further decomposed into four subimages according to their indexing and masked by the parameters generated by MSVD. We have used number of bands of DCST, arrangement of MSVD subbands, arrangement of various subimages obtained from MSVD subbands, values and arrangement of a 4×4 matrix generated by MSVD and the arrangement of masked subimages as encryption and decryption keys. To ensure the correct decryption of encrypted image, it is indeed necessary to have correct knowledge of all keys in correct order along with their exact values. If all the keys are correct but a single key is wrong even though it would be almost impossible to guess the original image. The efficiency of proposed algorithm is evaluated by comparing it with some recent published works and it is evident from the experimental results and analysis that the proposed algorithm can transmit the images more securely and efficiently over the network.     

Image encoding based on coherent superposition and basic vector operations

A new method for image encryption based on optical coherent superposition and basic vector operations is proposed in this paper. In this encryption, the original image can be directly separated into two phase masks (PMs). One is a random phase mask (RPM) and the other is a modulation of the RPM by the original image. The mathematical calculation for obtaining the two PMs is quite simple and direct resulting from the simple principle of optical coherent superposition. The arbitrarily selected RPM can be treated as the encrypted result while the PM can be taken as the key for decryption. With this technique, the same encrypted result can be obtained for different images with the same size while the keys for decryption are different. The encryption can be performed digitally and the decryption can be performed optically or digitally. The security of the proposed method is discussed and computer simulation results are presented to verify the validity of proposed method.     

Novel image encryption algorithm based on multiple-parameter discrete fractional random transform

A new method of digital image encryption is presented by utilizing a new multiple-parameter discrete fractional random transform. Image encryption and decryption are performed based on the index additivity and multiple parameters of the multiple-parameter fractional random transform. The plaintext and ciphertext are respectively in the spatial domain and in the fractional domain determined by the encryption keys. The proposed algorithm can resist statistic analyses effectively. The computer simulation results show that the proposed encryption algorithm is sensitive to the multiple keys, and that it has considerable robustness, noise immunity and security.     

Image encryption and decryption using fractional Fourier transform and radial Hilbert transform

A technique for image encryption using fractional Fourier transform (FRT) and radial Hilbert transform (RHT) is proposed. The spatial frequency spectrum of the image to be encrypted is first segregated into two parts/channels using RHT, and image subtraction technique. Each of these channels is encrypted independently using double random phase encoding in the FRT domain. The different fractional orders and random phase masks used during the process of encryption and decryption are the keys to enhance the security of the proposed system. The algorithms to implement the proposed encryption and decryption scheme are discussed, and results of digital simulation are presented.     

Optical color image encryption based on the wavelength multiplexing using cascaded phase-only masks in Fresnel transform domain

A novel technique, based on a modified Gerchberg–Saxton algorithm (MGSA) in the Fresnel-transform (FrT) domain, is proposed to encode a color image into three phase-only functions (POFs) for three separated channels: red (R), green (G), and blue (B). The decomposed three RBG channels can avoid the interference of crosstalks efficiently. In proposed decryption process, a color image can be promptly reconstructed by summing of the three decrypted RGB images after the created three POFs which are decrypted one by one. In this paper, all the created three POFs and the system parameters of FrT can be used as the keys for increasing security that are also demonstrated. The computer application simulations to the partial color encryption and decryption are given to validate the feasibility of the proposed scheme.     

Color image encryption and decryption for twin images in fractional Fourier domain

We propose a method for the encryption of twin color images using fractional Fourier transform (FRT). The color images to be encrypted are converted into the indexed image formats before being processed through twin image encryption algorithm based on the FRT. The proposed algorithm uses one random code in the image domain and one random phase code in the FRT domain to perform double image encryption. The conversion of both the input RGB images into their indexed formats facilitates single-channel processing for each image, and is more compact and robust as compared to multichannel techniques. Different fractional orders, the random masks in image- and FRT domain are the keys to enhance the security of the proposed system. The algorithms to implement the proposed encryption and decryption schemes are discussed, and results of digital simulation are presented. We examine sensitivity of the proposed scheme against the use of unauthorized keys (e.g. incorrect fractional orders, incorrect random phase mask etc.). Robustness of the method against occlusion and noise has also been discussed.     

Asymmetric multiple-image encryption based on coupled logistic maps in fractional Fourier transform domain

A multiple-image encryption scheme is proposed based on the asymmetric technique, in which the encryption keys are not identical to the decryption ones. First, each plain image is scrambled based on a sequence of chaotic pairs generated with a system of two symmetrically coupled identical logistic maps. Then, the phase-only function of each scrambled image is retrieved with an iterative phase retrieval process in the fractional Fourier transform domain. Second, all phase-only functions are modulated into an interim, which is encrypted into the ciphertext with stationary white noise distribution by using the fractional Fourier transform and chaotic diffusion. In the encryption process, three random phase functions are used as encryption keys to retrieve the phase-only functions of plain images. Simultaneously, three decryption keys are generated in the encryption process, which make the proposed encryption scheme has high security against various attacks, such as chosen plaintext attack. The peak signal-to-noise is used to evaluate the quality of the decrypted image, which shows that the encryption capacity of the proposed scheme is enhanced considerably. Numerical simulations demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the proposed method.     

Cascaded Fresnel holographic image encryption scheme based on a constrained optimization algorithm and Henon map

We propose an image encryption scheme using chaotic phase masks and cascaded Fresnel transform holography based on a constrained optimization algorithm. In the proposed encryption scheme, the chaotic phase masks are generated by Henon map, and the initial conditions and parameters of Henon map serve as the main secret keys during the encryption and decryption process. With the help of multiple chaotic phase masks, the original image can be encrypted into the form of a hologram. The constrained optimization algorithm makes it possible to retrieve the original image from only single frame hologram. The use of chaotic phase masks makes the key management and transmission become very convenient. In addition, the geometric parameters of optical system serve as the additional keys, which can improve the security level of the proposed scheme. Comprehensive security analysis performed on the proposed encryption scheme demonstrates that the scheme has high resistance against various potential attacks. Moreover, the proposed encryption scheme can be used to encrypt video information. And simulations performed on a video in AVI format have also verified the feasibility of the scheme for video encryption.     

Optical image encryption technique based on compressed sensing and Arnold transformation

A new optical image encryption method based on compressed sensing and Arnold transformation is proposed. First, dimensional reduction and random projection, the characteristics of compressed sensing, are utilized to compress and encrypt a digital image. Second, Arnold transformation is used to scramble the encryption image followed by compressed sensing with low data volume. Then, the encryption image is encrypted again by double random phase encoding optical encryption technique; two random phase masks generated by sequences of irrational number are been used as secret keys. In the end, the multi-encrypted information is embedded into the host image and transmitted. At the receiver, original image information is reconstructed approximately via orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm. The peak signal-to-noise ratio and the normalized cross-correlation between the original image and the decrypted one are used to calculate the quality of the decryption image. The experimental results demonstrate that our method is secure and robust.

Multiple-image parallel optical encryption

A novel technique for multiple-image optical encryption is proposed, in which a set of parallel plaintexts can be extracted from the same designed ciphertext respectively. In the process of encryption, the principle of random phase encoding is utilized, and the phase keys corresponding to different plaintexts are achieved independently from the same designed ciphertext by cascade phase retrieval algorithm (CPRA). The advantages of the approach could be concluded as implementing decryption without cross-talk, infinite encrypted capacity and simple architecture. And the plaintexts extracted mode is extended from peer-to-peer to peer-to-multipeer. Numerical simulation verifies the validity.     

Fully phase multiple-image encryption based on superposition principle and the digital holographic technique

We propose an optoelectronic image encryption and decryption technique based on coherent superposition principle and digital holography. With the help of a chaotic random phase mask (CRPM) that is generated by using logistic map, a real-valued primary image is encoded into a phase-only version and then recorded as an encoded hologram. As for multiple-image encryption, only one digital hologram is to be transmitted as the encrypted result by using the multiplexing technique changing the reference wave angle. The bifurcation parameters, the initial values for the logistic maps, the number of the removed elements and the reference wave parameters are kept and transmitted as private keys. Both the encryption and decryption processes can be implemented in opto-digital manner or fully digital manner. Simulation results are given for testing the feasibility of the proposed approach.
