This invention discloses a multi-image
encryption method based on 3D face keys and multiplexed
digital holography. The
encryption steps include: using 3D face high-order
data acquisition technology,
chaotic face
structured light phase mask generation technology,
grating modulation technology, multiplexed digital holographic coding technology, and
watermark embedding technology based on discrete
wavelet domain
singular value decomposition, multiple
plaintext information images can be encrypted into an amplitude-type holographic
ciphertext and embedded into a host image; the decryption steps include: the user must first calculate the face similarity using a 3D face
multilayer perceptron neural network. If the similarity exceeds a preset threshold,
authentication is successful. Then, the final decryption result is generated using
watermark image extraction technology based on
discrete wavelet transform, image decryption technology based on the Cramer-Kroni relation, and
spectral filtering technology; otherwise,
authentication fails. This method has advantages such as a large
key space, high sensitivity, strong robustness of the 3D face key, and low decryption
crosstalk.
