Abstract
In this research, a novel optical multiple-image encryption method based on angular-multiplexing holography, quick response (QR) code, and spiral phase keys is proposed. With this method, images are transformed into QR codes and subsequently encrypted into a series of encrypted holograms using an angular-multiplexing technique. The encrypted holograms can only be decrypted when the hologram is illuminated with a duplicate of the reference beam and correct fingerprint and spiral phase plate (SPP) keys. The multiplexing performance and key sensitivity of fingerprint and SPP order were both analyzed, showing the high strength of the security of our proposed method.
