The application discloses an
image hiding encryption method based on a bidirectional asymmetric nano-printing super surface, and comprises the following specific steps: 1) constructing a nano structure unit; 2) optimizing the structure parameters of two nano bricks through an
electromagnetic simulation software according to a selected working
wavelength λ; 3) constructing a nano structure array, setting
linearly polarized light with a polarization direction α1=π / 2 to be incident on the nano structure array from the upper surface and the lower surface respectively and then passing through a
polarizer with a transparent axis direction α2=π / 2, the image information displayed under the two incident conditions is consistent, and the first image can be encoded in the nano structure array;
linearly polarized light with an unchanged polarization direction is incident on the nano structure array and then passes through a
polarizer with a transparent axis direction α2=0, the image information displayed under the two incident conditions is different, and the second image can be encoded in the nano structure array by adding the two images pixel by pixel, thereby providing a method for
image hiding encryption and improving the concealment of the image.
