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.

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.

In the extended FRT encryption system, the input data to be encrypted is extended fractional Fourier transformed two times and random phase mask is placed at the output plane of the first extended FRT. By use of an interference with a wave from another random phase mask, the encrypted data is stored as a digital hologram. The data retrieval is operated by all-digital means. Computer simulations are presented to verify its validity and efficiency.

The technique is implemented using the popular double random phase encoding method in the fractional Fourier domain. The random phase masks (RPMs), integral orders of the RHT, fractional orders of FRT, and indices of the Jigsaw transform (JT) have been used as keys for encryption and decryption. Simulation results have been presented and the schematic representation for optical implementation has been proposed. The mean-square-error and signal-to-noise ratio between the decrypted image and the input image have been calculated for the correct as well as incorrect orders of the RHT. Effect of occlusion and noise on the performance of the proposed scheme has also been studied. The robustness of the technique has been verified against attack using partial windows of the correct random phase masks. Similar investigations have also been carried out for the chosen-, and the known-plain-text attacks.

We propose a novel random fractional Fourier transform by randomizing the transform kernel function of the conventional fractional Fourier transform. The random fractional Fourier transform inherits the excellent mathematical properties from the fractional Fourier transform and can be easily implemented in optics. As a primary application the random fractional Fourier transform can be directly used in optical image encryption and decryption.

Image encryption by using local random phase encoding in fractional Fourier transform domains

Based on fractional Fourier transform, an image encryption algorithm is proposed and researched. A local random phase encoding is introduced into this algorithm. The data at the local area of complex function is converted by fractional Fourier transform. The local random phase encoding is performed many times. Moreover only one set of random phase data is used in image encryption process. Compare to double random phase encoding, the parameter defining local area can be regarded as the additional key to increase the security of the encryption scheme. Some numerical simulations are achieved to demonstrate the performance of the image encryption scheme.     

Double image encryption based on phase-amplitude hybrid encoding and iterative phase encoding in fractional Fourier transform domains

A new method for double image encryption is proposed that is based on amplitude-phase hybrid encoding and iterative random phase encoding in fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) domains. In the iterative random phase encoding operation, a binary random matrix is defined to encode two original images to a single complex-valued image, which is then converted into a stationary white noise image by the iterative phase encoding with FrFTs. Compared with the previous schemes that uses fully phase encoding, the proposed method reduces the difference between two original images in key space and sensitivity to the FrFT orders. The primitive images can be retrieved exactly by applying correct keys with initial conditions of chaotic system, the pixel scrambling operation and the FrFT orders. Computer simulations demonstrate that the encryption method has impressively high security level and certain robustness against data loss and noise interference.

Logarithms-based RGB image encryption in the fractional Fourier domain: A non-linear approach

We propose a non-linear image encryption scheme for RGB images, using natural logarithms and fractional Fourier transform (FRT). The RGB image is first segregated into the component color channels and each of these components is hidden inside a random mask (RM) using base changing rule of logarithms. Subsequently, these channels are encrypted independently using random phase masks (RPMs) and the FRT. The fractional orders of the FRT, input random masks and random phase masks used in each channel serve as the keys for encryption and decryption. The algorithms to implement the proposed scheme are discussed, and results of digital simulation are presented. The robustness of the technique is analyzed against the variation in fractional orders of the FRT, change of RMs and RPMs, and occlusion of the encrypted data, respectively. Performance of the scheme has also been studied against the attacks using noise and partial windows of the correct RPMs. The proposed technique is shown to perform better against some attacks in comparison to the conventional linear methods.     

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.

Optical image encryption using chaos-based compressed sensing and phase-shifting interference in fractional wavelet domain

In this paper, a novel optical image encryption system combining compressed sensing with phase-shifting interference in fractional wavelet domain is proposed. To improve the encryption efficiency, the volume data of original image are decreased by compressed sensing. Then the compacted image is encoded through double random phase encoding in asymmetric fractional wavelet domain. In the encryption system, three pseudo-random sequences, generated by three-dimensional chaos map, are used as the measurement matrix of compressed sensing and two random-phase masks in the asymmetric fractional wavelet transform. It not only simplifies the keys to storage and transmission, but also enhances our cryptosystem nonlinearity to resist some common attacks. Further, holograms make our cryptosystem be immune to noises and occlusion attacks, which are obtained by two-step-only quadrature phase-shifting interference. And the compression and encryption can be achieved in the final result simultaneously. Numerical experiments have verified the security and validity of the proposed algorithm.
