Abstract

An optical double-image encryption and authentication method by sparse representation is proposed. The information from double-image encryption can be integrated into a sparse representation. Unlike the traditional double-image encryption technique, only sparse (partial) data from the encrypted data is adopted for the authentication process. Simulation results demonstrate that the correct authentication results are achieved even with partial information from the encrypted data. The randomly selected sparse encrypted information will be used as an effective key for a security system. Therefore, the proposed method is feasible, effective, and can provide an additional security layer for optical security systems. In addition, the method also achieved the general requirements of storage and transmission due to a high reduction of the encrypted information.
