An Image Encryption Method Based on Quantum Fourier Transformation

摘要

The image security problem is an important area in information security, and image encryption plays a vital role in this day. To protect the image encryption from the attack of quantum algorithm appeared recently, an image encryption method based on quantum Fourier transformation is proposed here. First, the image encryption and Fourier transformation are discussed here, then a encryption function is proposed. Second, a quantum Fourier transformation is introduced to quantum encryption, and the full step of quantum encryption is given as well. Third, the security of the proposed quantum encryption if analyzed, and some propositions are also presented. Lastly, some conclusions are indicated and some possible directions are also listed.
