Optical single-channel color image asymmetric cryptosystem based on hyperchaotic system and random modulus decomposition in Gyrator domains

Abstract

An enhanced optical single-channel asymmetric cryptosystem for color image is proposed by using hyperchaotic system and random modulus decomposition (RMD) in gyrator domains. For increasing the security of the encryption scheme, a novel 4D four-winged hyperchaotic system is utilized to generate several hyperchaotic phases in the encryption approach. Subsequently, the RMD is implemented to obtain the effective trapdoor one-way function in the asymmetric process. Finally, a scrambling encoding algorithm is designed to combine and randomize the intermediate and hyperchaotic data, and the result can be regarded as the ciphertext and private key of the cryptosystem. In the decryption approach, the ciphertext and private key are imported into the input plane of gyrator transform. In fact, the proposed cryptosystem is also applicable in information authentication since the hyperchaotic data is prerequisite both in encryption and decryption approaches. Various numerical simulations are made to demonstrate the validity and capability of the proposed cryptosystem.
