A multiple-image encryption scheme is proposed by using discrete cosine transform and discrete multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transform (DMPFRFT). Each image is performed by discrete cosine transform and filtering procedure and then multiplexed into a complex signal. After operated by a pixel scrambling, the complex signal is multiplied by random phase mask, and then encrypted into one image in DMPFRFT domain. The original images can be retrieved by using such correct keys as pixel scrambling operation, random phase mask and the parameters of DMPFRFT. Numerical simulations have been done to verify the feasibility and security of the proposed method
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
