Abstract

In this study, we propose an optical double-image information-leakage-free cryptosystem using phase truncation in the Fresnel domain. During the encryption process, two plaintexts by three public keys are encoded as one ciphertext mask and three private key masks. In the proposed method, the leakage of the information on two plaintexts as well as their silhouettes are no longer appear despite the use of one, two or even three masks for decryption. Moreover, the illuminating wavelength, the two diffraction distances and the three parameters of chaotic pixel scrambling also function as six additional keys to enhance security significantly. This scheme also avoids the crosstalk problem and dismisses the vulnerability against the special attack. Numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed method.
