Improving security of double random phase encoding with chaos theory using fractal images

Authors

Abstract:

This study presents a new method based on the combination of cryptography and information hiding methods. Firstly, the image is encoded by the Double Random Phase Encoding (DRPE) technique. The real and imaginary parts of the encoded image are subsequently embedded into an enlarged normalized host image. DRPE demands two random phase mask keys to decode the decrypted image at the destination. The two random phase masks are regenerated by the chaos theory using a fractal image. To enhance its security, instead of sending the second phase mask directly, the initial conditions and the parameter of the chaotic map and the fractal image are transferred to the authorized user through a secure channel. Experimental results reveal that the proposed method not only enjoys high security but also resists the commonplace attacks.

Information authentication using photon-counting double-random-phase encrypted images.

Photon-counting imaging is integrated with optical encryption for information authentication. An image is double-random-phase encrypted, and a photon-limited encrypted image is obtained. The photon-counting encrypted image is generated with few photons and appears sparse; however, we show that it has sufficient information for decryption and authentication. The decrypted image cannot be easily ...

Efficient Text Encryption and Hiding with Double-Random Phase-Encoding

In this paper, a double-random phase-encoding technique-based text encryption and hiding method is proposed. First, the secret text is transformed into a 2-dimensional array and the higher bits of the elements in the transformed array are used to store the bit stream of the secret text, while the lower bits are filled with specific values. Then, the transformed array is encoded with double-rand...

Simultaneous multiplexing & encoding of multiple images based on a double random phase encryption system

Nowadays, protecting information is a major issue in any transmission system, as showed by an increasing number of research papers related to this topic. Optical encoding methods, such as a Double Random Phase encryption system i.e. DRP, are widely used and cited in the literature. DRP systems have very simple principle and they are easily applicable to most images (B&W, gray levels or color). ...

Statistical investigation of the double random phase encoding technique.

The amplitude-encoding case of the double random phase encoding technique is examined by defining a cost function as a metric to compare an attempted decryption against the corresponding original input image. For the case when a cipher-text pair has been obtained and the correct decryption key is unknown, an iterative attack technique can be employed to ascertain the key. During such an attack ...
