Asymmetric image encryption using phase-truncated discrete multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transform.

An asymmetric image encryption scheme is proposed using a phase-truncated discrete multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transform (DMPFRFT). After applying a pixel-scrambling operation and random-phase mask, an asymmetric ciphertext with stationary white noise can be obtained using phase truncation in the DMPFRFT domain. Using the phase key, an inverse pixel-scrambling operation, and the parameters of the DMPFRFT, the original image can be successfully retrieved. Numerical simulations were conducted to demonstrate the validity and the security of the proposed method, and electro-optical hybrid setups are suggested for encryption and decryption.
