Comment on Interferometric phase-only optical encryption system that uses a reference wave

Jesper Glückstad, Vincent R. Daria, Peter John Rodrigo

Publisher

Abstract

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.

Reply to Comment on Interferometric phase-only optical encryption system that uses a reference wave

Dong-Hoan Seo, Soo–Joong Kim

We appreciate the Comment by Glückstad et al. [Opt. Lett. 28, 1075 (2003)] in the sense that it allows us to clarify an inherent possibility of counterfeiting phase-only encrypted information and some important points in our original Letter [Opt. Lett. 28, 304 (2003)]. We also take this opportunity to show the usefulness of the method that we described.

Interferometric phase-only optical encryption system that uses a reference wave

Dong-Hoan Seo, Soo–Joong Kim

An improved image decryption system is proposed that is based on phase-encoded images and the principle of interference and uses a reference wave. A novel technique for generating intensity patterns from the decrypted phase information consists simply of interfering a reference wave with the wave passing through the encrypted image and a phase-only decrypting key. Optical experiments have confirmed the proposed technique as a simple and robust architecture for optical encryption.

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.

Security Improvement with Multiplexing for Optical Encryption Based on Cross-Correlation of Random Phase Masks

Kiyoshi Moritake, Atsushi Okamoto, Hisatoshi Funakoshi +1 more

Optical random phase encryption methods have the vulnerability of decoding by readout with only a part of correct key. To overcome this vulnerability, we propose a new method by multiplexing original data and dummy data.

Protección de datos usando un sistema experimental de encriptación de correlador de transformada conjunta

Roberto Torroba, John Fredy Barrera

In this contribution the implementation of an experimental data protection system based on optical processing is presented, and the reliability of the recovered information when there is data loss during transmission is analyzed. The information is encrypted using an optical joint transform correlation architecture together with a double phase mask encoding technique. An authorized user recovers the original information when accessing the encoded data and the security key; if an intruder intersects the encoded image but does not possess the security key there is no possibility to access to the information contained in the encrypted image. The theoretical description and the experimental results show the ability the security systems exhibits to protect and recover the information by optical means, including the tolerance to data loss during transmission. © 2015.
