Robust information encryption diffractive-imaging-based scheme with special phase retrieval algorithm for a customized data container

摘要

The diffractive-imaging-based encryption (DIBE) scheme has aroused wide interesting due to its compact architecture and low requirement of conditions. Nevertheless, the primary information can hardly be recovered exactly in the real applications when considering the speckle noise and potential occlusion imposed on the ciphertext. To deal with this issue, the customized data container (CDC) into DIRE is introduced and a new phase retrieval algorithm (PRA) for plaintext retrieval is proposed. The PRA, designed according to the peculiarity of the CDC, combines two key techniques from previous approaches, i.e., input-support-constraint and median-filtering. The proposed scheme can guarantee totally the reconstruction of the primary information despite heavy noise or occlusion and its effectiveness and feasibility have been demonstrated with simulation results.
