Image Encryption Using Compressive Sensing and Detour Cylindrical Diffraction

Abstract

An image compression and encryption method integrating compressive sensing (CS) and Detour Cylindrical-diffraction-based double Random-phase Encoding (DCRE) is proposed. The plaintext image is first compressed by CS and then encrypted by the DCRE algorithm. The existing integrated CS and double random phase encoding (DRPE) methods are known to be vulnerable to the plaintext attack and even ciphertext-only attack. The combination of CS and DCRE, however, will be free of the plaintext attack and ciphertext-only attack, free of phase retrieval attack and allows enlarged key space. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed scheme.

In this paper, a new multiple-image encryption and decryption technique that utilizes the compressive sensing (CS) concept along with a double-random phase encryption (DRPE) has been proposed. The space multiplexing method is employed for integrating multiple-image data. The method, which results in a nonlinear encryption system, is able to overcome the vulnerability of classical DRPE. The CS technique and space multiplexing are able to provide additional key space in the proposed method. A numerical experiment of the proposed method is implemented and the results show that the proposed method has good accuracy and is more robust than classical DRPE. The proposed system is also employed against chosen-plaintext attacks and it is found that the inclusion of compressive sensing enhances robustness against the attacks.

Image Compression-Encryption Scheme via Fiber Specklegram-Based Compressive Sensing and Double Random Phase Encoding

Yan Liu, Yaohua Hu, Yang Li +5 more

An image compression-encryption scheme utilizing the combination of fiber specklegram-based compressive sensing (CS) and double random phase encoding (DRPE) was demonstrated. The original image is compressed and encrypted by CS and then re-encrypted by DRPE. The measurement matrices for CS are constructed from multimode fiber specklegrams resulting from modes excitation and interference, which show better performance compared with those based on Gaussian random variables. Since fiber specklegrams have strong dependence on configuration, such measurement matrix can be constructed either by one specklegram or by specklegrams from different launched wavelengths. The double-encrypted image demonstrated good safety and reliability in several common attacks and presented high key sensitivity, which indicates good performance of the proposed scheme.

Application of compressive sensing based on multimode fiber specklegram in optical image encryption

Yaohua Hu, Yan Liu, Ge Mu +4 more

In order to ensure the secure and effective transmission of image information, a new method of optical image encryption using the multimode fiber (MMF) specklegram based compressive sensing combined with the double random phase encoding (DRPE) is proposed in this paper. The specklegrams obtained from the facet of the multimode fiber are used as the measurement matrix of compressive sensing (CS), and the compression and the first-stage encryption of the image are completed by compressive sensing, in which the specklegram also functions as the first secret key. Then, the second-stage encryption is implemented by using the double random phase encoding technology, in which the random phase mask acts as the second secret key. All of the specklegrams used in this paper are obtained from the facet of a 5 m-long and 105-μm-diameter-MMF and offset launching technique. Then the fiber specklegrams are proposed in several steps to provide the measurement matrix in CS. By performing an encryption and decryption test on a standard Lena image of 256 × 256 size, it is found that the decrypted image and the original image are visually consistent, and the encryption is also realized in the process of compression, which indicates the method proposed in this paper is feasible. Furthermore, the comparison studies of the performances of specklegram based measurement matrix and some classic measurement matrices show that the decrypted image quality using the specklegram matrix is better. And at the same time, comparing with the high hardware implementation complexity and high cost of other measurement matrices, specklegram based matrix can be easily realized by simple optical device, and the corresponding secret key can be easily changed by the working wavelength, which is helpful for enlarging the secret key space. It is further proved that the encryption method be able to effectively resist the statistical analysis attacks, cropping attacks and noise interference, and also have high sensitivity to the secret key, which shows good robustness and high security. Therefore, the image encryption method combined with the specklegram matrix based compression sensing with the optical DRPE can obtain good encryption effect and has a great secret key space, which may provide a good candidate scheme for the pure optical realization of image encryption.

Compressive sensing based robust multispectral double-image encryption

Nitin Rawat, Byoung‐Ho Kim, Inbarasan Muniraj +2 more

We demonstrate a multispectral double-image-based cryptosystem that exploits only a tiny number of random white noise samples for proper decryption. Primarily, one of the two downsampled images is converted into the phase function after being shuffled by Arnold transform (AT), while the other image is modulated as an amplitude-based image after AT. Consecutively, a full double-image encryption can be achieved by employing classical double random phase encryption (DRPE) technique in the fractional Fourier transform domain with corresponding fractional orders. In this study, the encrypted complex data is randomly sampled via compressive sensing (CS) framework by which only 25% of the sparse white noise samples are being reserved to realize decryption with zero or small errors. As a consequence, together with correct phase keys, fractional orders and proper inverse AT operators, lpminimization must be utilized to decrypt the original information. Thus, in addition to the perfect image reconstruction, the proposed cryptosystem provides an additional layer of security to the conventional DRPE system. Both the mathematical and numerical simulations were carried out to verify the feasibility as well as the robustness of the proposed system. The simulation results are presented in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on integrating CS with encrypted complex samples for information security.

Evaluations of phase-only double random phase encoding based on key-space analysis

Kazuya Nakano, Masafumi Takeda, Hiroyuki Suzuki +1 more

Although initial research shows that double-random phase encoding (DRPE) is vulnerable to known-plaintext attacks that use phase retrieval algorithms, subsequent research has shown that phase-only DRPE, in which the Fourier amplitude component of an image encrypted with classical DRPE remains constant, is resistant to attacks that apply phase retrieval algorithms. Herein, we numerically analyze the key-space of DRPE and investigate the distribution property of decryption keys for classical and phase-only DRPE. We determine the difference in the distribution property of successful decryption keys for these DRPE techniques from the numerical analysis results and then discuss the security offered by them.

Vulnerability to ciphertext-only attack of optical encryption scheme based on double random phase encoding

Xiaoli Liu, Jiachen Wu, Wenqi He +3 more

We demonstrate in this paper that the traditional double random phase encoding (DRPE) technique is vulnerable to ciphertext-only attack (COA). In this method, an unauthorized user (or say attacker) is assumed to be able to retrieve the corresponding plaintext from the only ciphertext under some certain condition. The proposed scheme mainly relies on a hybrid iterative phase retrieval (HIPR) algorithm, which combines various phase retrieval algorithms. With an estimation of the number of nonzero pixels (NNP) in the original plaintext, an attacker could recover the plaintext in a large extent. The simulation results show that this method is feasible and validate.
