“…When the distance between the images is greater than 3W at the input end, the images are mutually separated at the output end. In Equation (30), the coordinate position is (a 1 , 0), (a 2 , 0), and (2a 2 − a 1 , 0), respectively. When |a 1 − a 2 | ≥ 3W, we obtain (2a 2 − a 1 ) − a 2 = |a 2 − a 1 | ≥ 3W and (2a 2 − a 1 ) − a 1 = 2 (a 2 − a 1 ) ≥ 6W, so that the output images are separated from each other, as shown in Figure 13 When the distance between the images is greater than 3W at the input end, the images are mutually separated at the output end.…”

Optical image encryption technology based on joint transform correlation (JTC) has attracted increasing attention from researchers. We propose a multi-user secure communication system based on the special properties of JTC. Multiple users utilize their own fingerprints to encrypt the plain-text in the encryption process, and each user must be first authenticated at the beginning of the decryption process. Only users with legitimate identities can perform the decryption process, whereas unauthorized users with false identities cannot, so the security of the system is greatly improved. Furthermore, we propose a multi-user double-image encryption method, which can better meet the needs of different security environments. Considering the possibility of overlapping images at the output end, we prove that a JTC-based image encryption system can avoid overlapping images at the output when the distance between the input images is 3W (W is the side length of a square image), which provides a theoretical foundation for further research. Finally, a numerical simulation demonstrates the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed idea.Entropy 2019, 21, 850 2 of 17 Vilardy et al. analyzed JTC encryption methods and found that it is possible to significantly improve the quality of the decrypted image by introducing a simple nonlinear operation in the encrypted function that contains the joint power spectrum [13][14][15]. Moreover, the JTC system has been applied to different transformation domains, such as the fractional Fourier transform domain [16], Fresnel transform domain [17], and chaotic maps [18,19], which greatly expanded the application of JTC. As is known, cryptography and cryptanalysis are complementary to each other. Therefore, attack schemes against JTC encryption system are proposed [20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. At the same time, the researchers introduced authentication to improve the security of the system [27][28][29][30].In the JTC encryption system, the common feature is that the classified information is controlled by one user. However, in some cases, this information cannot be owned by one user alone. The classified information can be obtained only if two or more users are present simultaneously. In the current study, a multi-user encryption system is proposed based on JTC. The proposed cryptosystem is uniquely useful in practical applications such as co-signing important documents, the control of nuclear buttons, access to certain crucial information, and so on.The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 proves the feasibility of the proposed scheme through mathematical theory and the analysis of potential risks. Multi-user double image encryption is proposed, and the position distribution of the output image is analyzed in Section 3. Simulation results are shown in Section 4. Finally, the conclusions are presented in Section 5. The Proposed CryptosystemOn he basis of JTC, the current report proposes a multi-user encryption system with fingerprint keys. Different system users utilize ...

Abstract-Joint-transform correlator (JTC) architecture presents some advantages, such as no requirement of interferometric recording of the phase distribution or complex conjugation of the key phase mask, in order to optically implement the well-known double random phase encryption (DRPE) method. In addition, a practical optical realization was proposed in a way that the whole information (primary image and two random phase masks) was easily introduced in the same input plane of the JTC system. However, poor image quality was obtained in the decryption stage. Cryptanalysis of JTC-based encryption systems demonstrated that they were vulnerable to certain intruder attacks, similarly to the original DRPE method. In this work, we review recent modifications of encryption algorithms based on JTC architecture that permit, on the one hand, to significantly increase the quality of the retrieved image after information decryption, and on the other hand, to achieve a high security level against a variety of system attacks. The modifications, which were firstly introduced in the Fourier-based JTC system, have been also adapted to be used in the Fresnel and Fractional Fourier domains as well as in the Gyrator domain. Nonlinear operations have been also introduced in multifactor encryption-authentication.

“…Recently, the PhCT has been integrated with the double random phase encoding (DRPE) in the Fourier domain [9,6], for secure image encryption and authentication [7,5,8]. The PhCT introduces a nonlinearity into the DRPE system, this nonlinearity increases the security of the encryption and authentication systems against to some attacks [8].…”

In this work, we present the integration of the photon counting technique (PhCT) with an encryption system in the Gyrator domain (GD) for secure image authentication. The encryption system uses two random phase masks (RPMs), one RPM is defined at the spatial domain and the other RPM is defined at the GD, in order to encode the image to encrypt (original image) into random noise. The rotation angle of the Gyrator transform adds a new key that increases the security of the encryption system. The decryption system is an inverse system with respect to the encryption system. The PhCT limits the information content of an image in a nonlinear, random and controlled way; the photon-limited image only has a few pixels of information, this type of image is usually known as sparse image. We apply the PhCT over the encrypted image. The resulting image in the decryption system is not a copy of the original image, this decrypted image is a random code that should contain the sufficient information for the authentication of the original image using a nonlinear correlation technique. Finally, we evaluate the peak-to-correlation energy metric for different values of the parameters involved in the encryption and authentication systems, in order to test the verification capability of the authentication system.
