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 algorithm based on the multi-order discrete fractional Mellin transform

A multi-order discrete fractional Mellin transform (MODFrMT) is constructed and directly used to encrypt the private images. The MODFrMT is a generalization of the fractional Mellin transform (FrMT) and is derived by transforming the image with multi-order discrete fractional Fourier transform (MODFrFT) in log-polar coordinates, where the MODFrFT is generalized from the closed-form expression of the discrete fractional Fourier transform (DFrFT) and can be calculated by fast Fourier transform (FFT) to reduce the computation burden. The fractional order vectors of the MODFrMT are sensitive enough to be the keys, and consequently key space of the encryption system is enlarged. The proposed image encryption algorithm has significant ability to resist some common attacks like known-plaintext attack, chosen-plaintext attack, etc. due to the nonlinear property of the MODFrMT. Additionally, Kaplan-Yorke map is employed in coordinate transformation process of the MODFrMT to further enhance the security of the encryption system. The computer simulation results show that the proposed encryption algorithm is feasible, secure and robust to noise attack and occlusion.     

The multiple-parameter discrete fractional Hadamard transform

Discrete fractional Hadamard transform (DFrHaT) is a generalization of the Hadamard transform, which has been widely used in signal processing. In this paper, we present the multiple-parameter discrete fractional Hadamard transform (MPDFrHaT), which has multiple order parameters instead of only one in DFrHaT. The proposed MPDFrHaT is shown to possess all of the desired properties of DFrHaT. In fact, it will reduce to DFrHaT when all of its order parameters are the same. We also propose a novel encryption technique, double random amplitude (DRA) encoding scheme, by cascading twofold random amplitude filtering. As a primary application, we exploit the multiple-parameter feature of MPDFrHaT and double random amplitude encoding scheme for digital image encryption in the MPDFrHaT domain. Results show that this method can enhance data security.     

Double-image encryption based on discrete fractional random transform and chaotic maps

A novel double-image encryption algorithm is proposed, based on discrete fractional random transform and chaotic maps. The random matrices used in the discrete fractional random transform are generated by using a chaotic map. One of the two original images is scrambled by using another chaotic map, and then encoded into the phase of a complex matrix with the other original image as its amplitude. Then this complex matrix is encrypted by the discrete fractional random transform. By applying the correct keys which consist of initial values, control parameters, and truncated positions of the chaotic maps, and fractional orders, the two original images can be recovered without cross-talk. Numerical simulation has been performed to test the validity and the security of the proposed encryption algorithm. Encrypting two images together by this algorithm creates only one encrypted image, whereas other single-image encryption methods create two encrypted images. Furthermore, this algorithm requires neither the use of phase keys nor the use of matrix keys. In this sense, this algorithm can raise the efficiency when encrypting, storing or transmitting.     

Image encryption based on the multiple-order discrete fractional cosine transform

A novel scheme for image encryption based-on the multiple-order discrete fractional cosine transform (MODFrCT) is proposed. The DFrCT has a similar relationship with the discrete fractional Fourier transform (DFrFT). Not only has the DFrCT many useful properties similar to the conventional discrete cosine transform, but it also has another property, namely its fraction, or its transform order. The image to be encrypted is transformed with the multiple-order DFrCT using a random row cipher key vector and a random column key vector successively, and the corresponding cipher key vectors of decryption are also very sensitive. The transmission of the encrypted image with the algorithm of the multiple-order DFrCT is faster due to its reality. The digital simulation results proved the validity and safety of this algorithm.     

Image sharing scheme based on discrete fractional random transform

We present a novel image sharing algorithm based on the discrete fractional random transform (DFRNT). The secret image is shared into several shadow images in the DFRNT domain together with some noise images as the encryption keys to increase the security. The decryption only requires a part of shadow images and therefore is independent of those noise images. The (t,n) threshold sharing scheme can be implemented completely by the proposed algorithm. The numerical simulations have demonstrated the effectiveness of this image sharing scheme.

Novel single-channel color image encryption algorithm based on chaos and fractional Fourier transform

A new color image encryption algorithm based on fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) and chaos is proposed. The colors of the original color image are converted to HSI (hue-saturation-intensity), and the S component is transformed by the random-phase encoding based on FrFT to obtain a new random phase. The I component is transformed by double random-phase encoding based on FrFT using the H component and the new random phase as two phase plates. Then chaos scrambling technology is used to encrypt the image, which makes the resulting image nonlinear and disorder both in spatial domain and frequency domain. Additionally, the ciphertext is not a color image but a combination of a gray image and a phase matrix, so the ciphertext has camouflage property to some extent. The results of numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness and the security of this algorithm.     

Image encryption based on extended fractional Fourier transform and digital holography technique

We present a new optical image encryption algorithm that is based on extended fractional Fourier transform (FRT) and digital holography technique. We can perform the encryption and decryption with more parameters compared with earlier similar methods in FRT domain. 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.     

Optical image encryption using fractional Fourier transform and chaos

We propose a new method for image encryption using fractional Fourier transform and chaos theory. Random phase masks are generated using iterative chaos functions. The input image is combined with the first random phase mask at the object plane and is then transformed using the fractional Fourier transform. After the first fractional Fourier transform, the second random phase mask, again generated by using the chaos functions, is used at the fractional plane. The second fractional Fourier transform operation is then carried out to obtain the encrypted image. Three types of chaos functions have been used: the logistic map, the tent map and the Kaplan–Yorke map. The mean square error and the signal-to-noise ratio between the decrypted image and the input image for the correct order and the incorrect order of the fractional Fourier transform have been calculated. The computer simulations are presented to verify the validity of the proposed technique.     

Triple color images encryption algorithm based on scrambling and the reality-preserving fractional discrete cosine transform

An image encryption algorithm to secure three color images simultaneously by combining scrambling with the reality-preserving fractional discrete cosine transform (RPFrDCT) is proposed. The three color images to be encrypted are converted to their indexed formats by extracting their color maps, which can be considered as the three components of a color image. These three components are affected each other by scrambling the interims obtained from vertically and horizontally combining the three indexed formats with the help of the chaos-based cyclic shift. The three scrambled components are separately transformed with the RPFrDCT, in which the generating sequences are determined by the Chirikov standard chaotic map. Arnold transform is used to further enhance the security. Due to the inherent properties of the chaotic maps, the cipher keys are highly sensitive. Additionally, the cipher image is a single color image instead of three color ones, and is convenient for display, storage and transmission due to the reality property of RPFrDCT. Numerical simulations are performed to show the validity of the proposed algorithm.

Asymmetric multiple-image encryption based on the cascaded fractional Fourier transform

A multiple-image cryptosystem is proposed based on the cascaded fractional Fourier transform. During an encryption procedure, each of the original images is directly separated into two phase masks. A portion of the masks is subsequently modulated into an interim mask, which is encrypted into the ciphertext image; the others are used as the encryption keys. Using phase truncation in the fractional Fourier domain, one can use an asymmetric cryptosystem to produce a real-valued noise-like ciphertext, while a legal user can reconstruct all of the original images using a different group of phase masks. The encryption key is an indivisible part of the corresponding original image and is still useful during decryption. The proposed system has high resistance to various potential attacks, including the chosen-plaintext attack. Numerical simulations also demonstrate the security and feasibility of the proposed scheme.     

Image encryption based on the reality-preserving multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transform

In recent years, a number of methods have been proposed in the literature for the encryption of two-dimensional information by using the fractional Fourier transform, but most of their encryptions are complex values and need digital hologram technique to record information, which is inconvenient for digital transmission. In this paper, we propose a new approach for image encryption based on the real-valuedness and decorrelation property of the reality-preserving multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transform in order to meet the requirements of the secure image transmission. In the proposed scheme, the original and encrypted images are respectively in the spatial domain and the reality-preserving multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transformed domain determined by the encryption keys. Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate that the proposed method is reliable and more robust to blind decryption than several existing methods.
