Abstract

In this work, an optical asymmetric scheme for image encryption and authentication is proposed. Our proposal uses an information authentication process for phase encrypted data in the Collins diffraction domain. A partial phase component of the optical image encrypted is used in the decryption stage to validate the grayscale encrypted data. Meanwhile, the use of phase component will be facilitating the design and implementation of optical encryption schemes. The limited phase data makes the scheme more secure owing to difficult reorganization of the confidential information. In addition to security increases, a reduction of encrypted data is achieved by selecting some parts of the phase component of the encrypted data for the decryption process. Therefore, this development strategy efficiently facilitates optical information transfer and storage. Numerical simulations verify the resistance of the system against noise, cropping attacks, and potential attacks.
