Abstract

An image encryption scheme based on the quick response (QR) code as a data container has aroused wide interest due to the lossless recovery of the decrypted image. In this paper, we apply this method to multi-image encryption. However, since the decrypted image is affected by crosstalk noise, the number of multi-image encryptions is severely limited. To solve this problem, we analyzed the performance of QR code as a data container, and processed the decrypted QR code using the proposed method, so that the number of multi-image encryptions is effectively increased. Finally, we implemented a large image (256 × 256) encryption and decryption.
