Three-dimensional key in a modified joint transform correlator encryption scheme

Abstract We propose a modified encryption joint transform correlator scheme that introduces an additional random phase mask. The positions of both the conventional and the new mask are crucial for successful recovery of the original data. Although the two random phase masks are 2D, variation of their relative distance constitutes an additional dimension. Consequently by including this notion, both random phase masks act as a 3-dimensional (3D) key code increasing thereby the security with respect to the conventional JTC encryption scheme. We employ this scheme to multiplex encrypted data, displacing the encoding masks. During decryption of the multiplexed information, we only reconstruct the object that matches the correct predetermined 3D key code, i.e. that matches the random masks positions in the encryption step. We present actual experimental results, by using BSO crystal as recording medium, as well as their respective analysis.
