Abstract

This paper demonstrates a novel optical-cryptographic system based on a new image self-disordering algorithm (ISDA). The cryptographic stage is based on an iterative procedure using an ordering sequence from the input data to produce diffusion and confusion keys. Our system uses this approach over plaintext and optical cipher from a 2f-coherent processor working with two random phase masks. Since the keys used for encryption depend on the initial input information, the system is resistant to common attacks such as the chosen-plaintext attack (CPA) and the known-plaintext attack (KPA). In addition, since the ISDA operates the optical cipher, the 2f processor linearity is destroyed, producing an enhanced ciphertext in phase and amplitude, improving optical encryption protection. This new approach offers higher security and efficiency than other reported systems. We perform security analyses and validate the feasibility of this proposal by synthesizing an experimental keystream and performing color image encryption.
