Abstract: | We propose and demonstrate an encryption-selectable undercover multiplexing. We encrypt and multiplex images for storage by means of a random phase mask common to every image, covered with random amplitude masks different for each image. In order to get a correct decryption of the encoded information, we have to use the appropriate random amplitude mask; otherwise fake information is recovered. We employ a phase conjugation scheme to generate the recovering wavefronts. We analyze and compare the different alternatives and degrees of complexity this combination of masks brings to enhance the security of optical encrypting techniques. We also include an analysis on the advantages and disadvantages this undercover multiplexing protocol offers. We present digital simulations to demonstrate the soundness of the proposal. |
