In this paper, we propose a novel optical implementation of a 3DES algorithm based on dual XOR logic operations for a cryptographic system. In the schematic architecture, the optical 3DES system consists of dual XOR logic operations, where XOR logic operation is implemented by using a free-space interconnected optical logic gate method. The main point in the proposed 3DES method is to make a higher secure cryptosystem, which is acquired by encrypting an individual private key separately, and this encrypted private key is used to decrypt the plain text from the cipher text. Schematically, the proposed optical configuration of this cryptosystem can be used for the decryption process as well. The major advantage of this optical method is that vast 2-D data can be processed in parallel very quickly regardless of data size. The proposed scheme can be applied to watermark authentication and can also be applied to the OTP encryption if every different private key is created and used for encryption only once. When a security key has data of $512{\times}256$ pixels in size, our proposed method performs 2,048 DES blocks or 1,024 3DES blocks cipher in this paper. Besides, because the key length is equal to $512{\times}256$ bits, $2^{512{\times}256}$ attempts are required to find the correct key. Numerical simulations show the results to be carried out encryption and decryption successfully with the proposed 3DES algorithm.

We propose an implementation scheme for an optical encryption system with hybrid-pattern random keys. In the encryption process, a pair of random phase keys composed of a white-noise phase key and a structured phase key are positioned in the input plane and Fourier-spectrum plane respectively. The output image is recoverable by digital reconstruction, using the conjugate of the encryption key in the Fourier-spectrum plane. We discuss the system encryption performance when different combinations of phase-key pairs are used. To measure the effectiveness of the proposed method, we calculate the statistical indicators between original and encrypted images. The results are compared to those generated from a classical double random phase encoding. Computer simulations are presented to show the validity of the method.

Double random phase encryption (DRPE) is one of the well-known optical encryption techniques, and many techniques with DRPE have been developed for information security. However, most of these techniques may not solve the fundamental security problem caused by using fixed phase masks for DRPE. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a key phase mask updating scheme for DRPE to improve its security, where a spatial light modulator (SLM) is used to implement key phase mask updating. In the proposed scheme, updated key data are obtained by using previous image data and the first phase mask used in encryption. The SLM with the updated key is used as the second phase mask for encryption. We provide a detailed description of the method of encryption and decryption for a DRPE system using the proposed key updating scheme, and simulation results are also shown to verify that the proposed key updating scheme can enhance the security of the original DRPE.

본 논문에서는 집적영상(integral imaging) 및 랜덤 픽셀-스크램블링(random pixel-scrambling) 기법을 이용한 새로운 광 영상 암호화(optical image encryption) 방법을 제안하였다. 즉, 제안된 방법의 부호화 과정에서는 먼저 입력영상을 여러 개의 작은 크기의 블록으로 나누어 픽셀-스크램블링을 한 다음 집적 영상 기술을 이용하여 요소영상(elemental image)을 생성하고 이 영상의 안정성을 위하여 2차 픽셀-스크램블링을 수행하여 최종 암호화된 영상을 얻게 된다. 그리고 복호화 과정에서는 암호화된 영상에 광학적인 집적 영상 복원 기법과 역 픽셀-스크램블링 방법을 사용하여 최종적으로 원 영상을 복원하게 된다. 새로이 제안된 광 영상 암호화 기법의 잡음 첨가 및 크로핑과 같은 데이터 손실에 대한 강인성을 실험을 통해 분석하고 그 결과를 제시하였다.

In this paper, we propose an accumulation encoding scheme based on double random phase encryption (DRPE) for multiple-image transmission. The proposed scheme can be used for a low-complexity DRPE system due to the simple structure of the accumulation encoder and decoder. For accumulation encoding of multiple images, all of the previously encrypted data are added, and hence the accumulation encoding can improve the security of the DRPE-encrypted data. We present a scheme for encryption and decryption for DRPE-based accumulation encoding, and a method for accumulation encoding and decoding. Finally, simulation results verify that the DRPE-based accumulation encoding scheme for multiple images is powerful in terms of data security.

본 논문에서는 블록암호화의 CBC(Cipher Block Chaining) 방식을 광학적인 XOR 연산을 이용하여 새로운 변형된 CBC 암호화 및 복호화 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 광학적 XOR 연산의 병렬 처리를 위해 이중 인코딩 방법과 자유 공간 연결 광논리 게이트 방법을 사용한다. 또한 제안된 XOR 연산 기반의 CBC 암호화 방식의 광학적 구성도를 공학적으로 실제 제작 구현 가능한 광 모듈 형태의 광 암호화/복호화 장치로 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 CBC 방식을 광학적으로 구현했기 때문에 기존의 전자적인 CBC 방식의 장점과 광학적인 고속성과 병렬 처리의 특성으로 인해 많은 정보를 빠른 속도로 암호화 및 복호화가 가능하다. 또한, 광 병렬 처리의 특성상 데이터가 2차원으로 배열되어 데이타 크기가 증가된 평문 데이터와 암호키를 사용함으로써 기존의 전자적 CBC 방식보다도 한층 더 암호 강도가 강력해진 암호화 시스템을 제공한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안한 기법이 CBC 모드의 암호화 및 복호화 과정에 효율적임을 보여준다. 한편 제안된 방식은 CBC 방식 외에 ECB(Electronic Code Book) 방식과 CFB(Cipher Feedback Block) 방식에도 적용할 수 있다.

A camouflaged encryption scheme based on Hadamard matrix and ghost imaging is proposed. In the process of the encryption, an orthogonal matrix is used as the projection pattern of ghost imaging to improve the definition of the reconstructed images. The ciphertext of the secret image is constrained to the camouflaged image. The key of the camouflaged image is obtained by the method of sparse decomposition by principal component orthogonal basis and the constrained ciphertext. The information of the secret image is hidden into the information of the camouflaged image which can improve the security of the system. In the decryption process, the authorized user needs to extract the key of the secret image according to the obtained random sequences. The real encrypted information can be obtained. Otherwise, the obtained image is the camouflaged image. In order to verify the feasibility, security and robustness of the encryption system, binary images and gray-scale images are selected for simulation and experiment. The results show that the proposed encryption system simplifies the calculation process, and also improves the definition of the reconstructed images and the security of the encryption system.

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.

광을 이용하여 암호화를 하는 경우는 위조 및 복제의 방지를 위하여 세기성분보다는 위상성분을 이용하여 주로 암호화를 하고 있다. 그러나 위상정보를 검출할 수 있는 장비가 개발된다면 정보를 유출 당할 수 있는 위험이 있다. 이러한 위험을 줄이기 위해 본 논문에서는 가상 위상영상을 이용하고 또한 정보를 다수가 공유할 수 있도록 시각 암호화(visual cryptography) 방법을 이용하여 정보를 보다 안전하게 보관하고 공유하는 시스템을 제안하였다.

In this paper we extend double random phase encryption (DRPE) using orthogonal encoding from single-image transmission to multiple-image transmission. The orthogonal encoding for multiple images employs a larger Hadamard matrix than that for a single image, which can improve security. We provide a scheme for DRPE with an orthogonal codec, and a method for orthogonal encoding/decoding for multiple-image transmission. Finally, simulation results verify that the DRPE using orthogonal encoding for multiple images is more secure than both the conventional DRPE and the DRPE using orthogonal encoding for a single image.
