Information authentication using sparse representation of double random phase encoding in fractional Fourier transform domain

摘要

This paper presents an information authentication scheme using sparse representation of double random phase encoding in fractional Fourier transform domain. Different from traditional cryptographic applications, only sparse version of the ciphertext is available at the receiver end. The decrypted image is unrecognizable and of no meaningful information of the plaintext, which can enhance the resistance against various attacks. The decrypted image can be authenticated using nonlinear optical correlation approach. Numerical simulations have been carried out, and the results prove the effectiveness and noise resistance of the proposed scheme. (C) 2017 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
