The hybrid input-output algorithm, error reduction algorithm, and combinations of both phase retrieval algorithms are applied to perform ciphertext-only attacks on linear canonical transform (LCT)-based amplitude encoding double-random-phase encryption (DRPE) systems. Special cases of LCT-based DRPE systems, i.e., Fourier-transform-based, fractional-Fourier-transform-based, and Fresnel-transform-based DRPE, can also be successfully attacked using the method proposed. Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed attacking method.
Self-written waveguide (SWW) trajectories fabricated inside a dry photopolymer bulk material, acrylamide/polyvinyl alcohol (AA/PVA), are studied. Their production using both Gaussian and Laguerre-Gauss exposing (writing) light beams, output from optical fibers, is explored. The formation of the primary and secondary eyes is also discussed. Furthermore, the interactions that take place when two counterpropagating beams pass through the photopolymer material (both Gaussian and Laguerre-Gauss) are examined. In all cases experimental and theoretical results are presented. Good agreement between the predictions of the proposed model and experimental observations are demonstrated.
Recently, the vulnerability of the linear canonical transform-based double random phase encryption system to attack has been demonstrated. To alleviate this, we present for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, a method for securing a two-dimensional scene using a quadratic phase encoding system operating in the photon-counted imaging (PCI) regime. Position-phase-shifting digital holography is applied to record the photon-limited encrypted complex samples. The reconstruction of the complex wavefront involves four sparse (undersampled) dataset intensity measurements (interferograms) at two different positions. Computer simulations validate that the photon-limited sparse-encrypted data has adequate information to authenticate the original data set. Finally, security analysis, employing iterative phase retrieval attacks, has been performed.
We present a method of securing multispectral 3D photon-counted integral imaging (PCII) using classical Hartley Transform (HT) based encryption by employing optical interferometry. This method has the simultaneous advantages of minimizing complexity by eliminating the need for holography recording and addresses the phase sensitivity problem encountered when using digital cameras. These together with single-channel multispectral 3D data compactness, the inherent properties of the classical photon counting detection model, i.e. sparse sensing and the capability for nonlinear transformation, permits better authentication of the retrieved 3D scene at various depth cues. Furthermore, the proposed technique works for both spatially and temporally incoherent illumination. To validate the proposed technique simulations were carried out for both the 2D and 3D cases. Experimental data is processed and the results support the feasibility of the encryption method.
