Integral Imaging Based Optical Image Encryption Using CA-DNA Algorithm

Abstract

Under the computational integral imaging-based security system, the application of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) encoding algorithm will cause silhouettes in the cipher image, thereby reducing the security of the system. To solve this problem, we introduced a cellular automata-based DNA (CA-DNA) algorithm, which effectively hides the distribution information of the original scene. It can prevent attackers from obtaining any valid information based on the statistical characteristics of the image, which makes our encryption system more security. At the same time, an improved high-resolution reconstruction algorithm is applied to achieve a high-quality decrypted scene. We conducted relevant experiments to certificate the effectiveness of proposed method. Experimental results verify that the scheme has high security and robustness.
