Abstract

ABSTRACT Inspired by the unique internal structures with inherent anisotropy in biological tissues and their dynamic scattering characteristic, a simple and easy-to-fabricate optical encryption technique using structural uncorrelated characteristics of biological tissues was proposed. It can generate unique keys with the random characteristics of the tissues and transforms multiple image plaintexts into speckle-like ciphertexts. The optical encryptions of grayscale images are demonstrated utilizing the uncorrelated characteristics of shallot and chicken breast respectively. Ciphertext-only-attack is resisted by phase retrieval due to the inherent dynamic randomness of biological tissues and the complexity of the plaintexts. Besides, once the unique PSF keys is recorded by the optical setup, the encryption can be accomplished, either online using the setup, or offline through performing convolutions on the plaintexts with pre-recorded uncorrelated PSFs to yield ciphertexts. Therefore, it is very secure, simple, and flexible to guarantee the promising potentials for information encryption of grayscale images and/or videos.

利用生物散射介质结构不相关特性的光学加密

摘要受生物组织固有各向异性的独特内部结构及其动态散射特性的启发，提出了一种利用生物组织结构不相关特性制作简单易行的光学加密技术。它可以生成具有组织随机特性的唯一密钥，并将多个图像明文转换为斑点状密文。分别利用小葱和鸡胸肉的不相关特性演示了灰度图像的光学加密。由于生物组织固有的动态随机性和明文的复杂性，相位检索可以抵抗纯密文攻击。此外，一旦光学设置记录了唯一的PSF密钥，就可以在线使用该设置来完成加密，或者离线通过对具有预先记录的不相关PSF的明文执行卷积来产生密文。因此，保证灰度图像和/或视频的信息加密潜力是非常安全、简单和灵活的。

期刊介绍： The journal (under its former title Optica Acta) was founded in 1953 - some years before the advent of the laser - as an international journal of optics. Since then optical research has changed greatly; fresh areas of inquiry have been explored, different techniques have been employed and the range of application has greatly increased. The journal has continued to reflect these advances as part of its steadily widening scope. Journal of Modern Optics aims to publish original and timely contributions to optical knowledge from educational institutions, government establishments and industrial R&D groups world-wide. The whole field of classical and quantum optics is covered. Papers may deal with the applications of fundamentals of modern optics, considering both experimental and theoretical aspects of contemporary research. In addition to regular papers, there are topical and tutorial reviews, and special issues on highlighted areas. All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. General topics covered include: • Optical and photonic materials (inc. metamaterials) • Plasmonics and nanophotonics • Quantum optics (inc. quantum information) • Optical instrumentation and technology (inc. detectors, metrology, sensors, lasers) • Coherence, propagation, polarization and manipulation (classical optics) • Scattering and holography (diffractive optics) • Optical fibres and optical communications (inc. integrated optics, amplifiers) • Vision science and applications • Medical and biomedical optics • Nonlinear and ultrafast optics (inc. harmonic generation, multiphoton spectroscopy) • Imaging and Image processing
