Asymmetric cryptosystem using random binary phase modulation based on mixture retrieval type of Yang-Gu algorithm: comment

Abstract

We comment on the recent Letter, by Liu et al. [Opt. Lett.38, 1651 (2013)] in which a method to improve the security strength of the asymmetric cryptosystem (ACS) by Qin and Peng [Opt. Lett.35, 118 (2010)] was proposed. However, in accordance with Liu's methodology, we could easily find other more efficient ways to achieve their purpose. More importantly, we think it is vitally necessary to point out that there exists a widespread, fundamental misunderstanding on the concept of ACS, which has also been studied in a series of related works.

Asymmetric cryptosystem using random binary phase modulation based on mixture retrieval type of Yang-Gu algorithm: reply

Wei Liu, Zhengjun Liu, Shutian Liu

We appreciate the comment by He et al. [Opt. Lett.38, 4044 (2013)] in the sense that it allows us to clarify our methodology of constructing an optical asymmetric cryptosystem, especially the relationship of the public encryption keys and private decryption keys. We also take this opportunity to provide a more detailed discussion to promote the research about the optical encryption schemes with asymmetric keys into a more correct direction.

I comment on the recent Letter by Cai et al. [Opt. Lett.40, 475 (2015).], in which the authors claimed that the method can resist the special attack. However, I think their attack analysis and algorithm are ill-considered and worth discussing.

We explain the vulnerability of the phase-only encryption procedure suggested by Seo and Kim [Opt. Lett. 28, 304 (2003)] and clarify issues regarding its robustness and degree of security compared with those of a previously reported phase-only encryption method.

Asymmetric cryptosystem using random binary phase modulation based on mixture retrieval type of Yang–Gu algorithm

Wei Liu, Zhengjun Liu, Shutian Liu

We propose an asymmetric optical image encryption scheme that uses an amplitude and phase mixture retrieval of the Yang-Gu algorithm. The encryption process is realized by employing a cascaded Yang-Gu algorithm together with two random phase masks that serve as the public encryption keys. The two private keys are generated in the encryption process and are randomly distributed binary matrices to be used for performing one-way binary phase modulations. Without the private keys, illegal users cannot retrieve the secret image. Numerical simulations are carried out to demonstrate the validity and security of the proposed scheme.
