Abstract

In this paper, we proposed an optical security system based on a gray-image exclusive-OR encryption using multi-phase separation and phase-wrapping method. For encryption, a gray image is sliced into binary images, which have the same pixel value, and these images are encrypted by modified XOR rules with binary random images. The XORed images and the binary images respectively combined and converted into full phase images, called an encrypted image and a key image. For decryption, when the encrypted image and key image are used as inputs on optical elements, Practically due to limited controllability of phase range in optical elements, the original gray image cannot be efficiently reconstructed by these optical elements. Therefore, by decreasing the phase ranges of the encrypted image and key image using a phase-wrapping method and separating these images into low-level phase images using multi-phase separation, the gray image can be reconstructed by optical elements which have limited control range. The decrytion process is simply implemented by interfering a multiplication result of encrypted image and key image with reference light. The validity of proposed scheme is verified and the effects, which are caused by phase limitation in decryption process, is analyzed by using computer simulations.

본 논문에서는 exclusive-OR 연산을 기반으로 암호화된 그레이 영상에 위상 랩핑(phase-wrapping)과 다중 위상 분할(multi-phase separation)방법을 적용하여 광학적 복호화가 용이하도록 한 광 암호화 시스템을 제안하였다. 암호화시 그레이 영상을 이진 영상들의 합으로 분리한 후 각각의 이진영상을 이진 무작위 영상과 변형된 XOR(modified XOR) 연산을 수행하고, 연산된 이진 영상들과 이진 무작위 영상들을 따로 결합한 후 이를 위상 부호화하여 암호화 영상과 키 영상을 만든다. 복호화시 암호화 영상과 키 영상의 위상 정보를 광소자로 구현할 경우 제어 가능한 위상 범위의 현실적 한계로 인해 그레이 정보 복원에 제약이 따른다. 따라서 위상 랩핑(phase-wrapping) 방법으로 암호화 영상과 키 영상의 위상 범위를 줄이고, 다중 위상분할(multi-phase separation)로 이 영상들을 낮은 레벨의 위상영상들로 분할함으로써, 위상범위가 제한된 광소자로도 그레이영상의 복호화가 가능하도록 하였다. 복호화는 암호화 영상과 키 영상의 곱을 기준파와 간섭시켜 간단히 구현하며, 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 이용해 제안한 방법의 타당성과 복호화시 위상 범위의 제한에 따른 영향을 분석하였다.
