Gray images embedded in a color image and encrypted with FRFT and Region Shift Encoding methods

In this paper, we have proposed a new multiple image encryption and watermarking technique. Several gray images can be watermarked in the three channels of an enlarged color image. The neighbor pixel value addition and subtraction algorithm is used to realize blind watermarking, therefore the original host color image does not need in extraction the watermark image. The gray images are encrypted with FRFT and Region Shift Encoding techniques before hiding to enhance the security. The robustness against occlusion attacks and noise attacks are also analyzed. And some computer simulations are presented to verify the possibility.
