Multibiometric Images Encryption Method Based on Fast Fourier Transform and Hyperchaos

Abstract

Biometric images are an important means of personal identity verification and identification and are related to personal privacy and property security. To address the problems of poor security and low image reconstruction quality in the encryption and transmission of multibiometric images, a multibiometric images encryption method based on Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and hyperchaotic system is proposed. First, the FFT is used to transform the multibiometric images from spatial to frequency domain. Then, the initial values of the hyperchaotic Lorenz system are generated using a one-dimensional chaotic logistic system to generate the key stream. Combined with the recoding rules of matrix reconstruction and scrambling without repetition of using multimatrix, the multiple matrices of amplitude and phase in the transform domain are reconstructed to be multiple RGB three-channel color images by using the inverse fast Fourier transform. Then, we combine the two diffusion methods of additive mode and Galois domain diffusion on each color channel to perform confusion and diffusion. Finally, the multiple grayscale images are encrypted to become multiple color images. The experimental results demonstrate that the method can effectively defend against various attacks. In addition, it solves the problem of low reconstruction accuracy that exists in the field of multiple images security.
