본 논문에서는 스트림 암호 시스템에서 사용이 되는 LFSR 을 이용한 이진 수열 발생기중 하나인 Threshold 발생기에 대한 광학적 구현 방법을 새로이 제안하였다. 광학적 구현을 위하여 LCD를 이용하므로서 LFSR 및 Mod 덧셈 연산을 위한 각 비트 값을 표현, 2차원 처리가 가능하게 하였다. Thredshold 발생기의 LFSR기능은 Shdow Casting 기법을 이용하여, 또한 XOR 연산 및 내적 계산을 위한 MOD덧셈 연산은 LCD 가 갖고 있는 편광 특성을 이용하여 광학적으로 구현하였다. 특히 본 논문에서는 Mod 2 덧셈 연산을 위한 새로운 광학적 구현 방법인 RSPM 을 제안하므로서 연산 결과 값 측정과 LCD 상의 데이타 값 표현 과정을 제외한 전 부분을 완전한 광학적 방법으로 처리가 가능하게 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 광 Threshold 암호 시스템은 기존의 전자적인 H/W 구현 방법에서 문제가 되어오던 Tapping Point의 개수에 대한 한계성을 극복할 수 있는 장점을 지니고 있으며, 또한 2차원 데이타인 영상용 암호화 시스템의 광학적 구현에 그 응용이 가능하다.

In this paper, we propose a high-level optical encryption system, which is tolerant with noises and cropping, by encrypting the phase-encoded CGH pattern of original image with the phase-encoded Fresnel diffraction pattern of random key images. For encryption, the phase-encoded CGH pattern of original image is multiplied by conjugate components which are the phase-encoded Fresnel diffraction patterns of random key images. The original information can be reconstructed by multiplying encrypted image by phase-encoded Fresnel diffraction pattern of random key images and performing Fourier transform of the multiplication result. The proposed system is robust to noises and cropping due to characteristics of CGH pattern and can guarantee high-level encryption by using Fresnel diffraction information. We verified the validity of proposed system by computer simulations, numerical analysis of noises and cropping effect and optical experiment.

중요한 정보 암호화하여 복수 회원에게 분산시킨 후 회원의 합의에 의하여 해독이 가능하게 하는 thresholding scheme은 visual cryptography에 의하여 시각적인 표현이 가능하게 되었다. 그러나 visual cryptography는 표현의 한계로 응용범위가 극히 제한되었다. 이 논문에서는 visual cryptography의 응용범위를 수학에서 광학으로 확장하기 위하여 binary computer generated hologram을 encryption하는 방법을 제시하고 security 특성을 분석한다.

In this paper, we propose an improved image decryption system using a phase-encoded image and the principle of interference. An original image and a random image consist of only binary values. The phase-encoded original image is encrypted into a binary phase-only image by multiplying with a phase-encoded random key. Therefore the phase-encoded images have two phase values 0 or $\pi$. The proposed decryption technique is simply performed by interfering between a reference wave and a direct pixel-to-pixel mapping of the encrypted image with a decrypting key. Optical experiments confirmed that the proposed technique is a simple and robust architecture for optical encryption.

An all-optical encryption system built on the basis of electrical logic circuit design principles is proposed, using semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) exclusive or (XOR) logic gates. Numerical techniques (steady-state and dynamic) were employed in a sequential manner to optimize the system parameters, speeding up the overall design process. The results from both numerical and experimental testbeds show that the encoding/decoding of the optical signal can be achieved at a 10 Gbps data rate with a conventional SOA cascade without serious degradation in the data quality.

In this paper, a new encryption method for a binary image using Phase modulation and Fourier transform is proposed. For decryption we use the characteristics of square law detector. In encryption process, a key image is obtained by phase modulation of 256 level random pattern and its Fourier transformation, and input image is encrypted by Fourier transforming the multiplication of the phase modulated random pattern and phase modulated input image. The encrypted image and key image have only phase information, so they can not be copied or counterfeited and the original image can not be decrypted without the key image. To reconstruct the original image, each phase mask of the key image and the encrypted image must be placed on each path of the Mach-Zehnder interferometry with Fourier transform lens and the output image is obtained in the form of intensity in the CCD(Charge Coupled Device) camera. The real-time decryption is possible in the proposed system by use of a LCD as a phase modulator and a CCD camera as an intensity detector. The proposed method shows a good performance in the computer simulation and optical experiment as an encryption scheme.

In recent years, a hierarchical security architecture has been widely studied because it can efficiently protect information by allowing an authorized user access to the level of information. However, the conventional hierarchical decryption methods require several decryption keys for the high level information. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical image encryption using random phase masks and Walsh code having orthogonal characteristics. To decrypt the hierarchical level images by only one decryption key, we combine Walsh code into the hierarchical level system. For encryption process, we first perform a Fourier transform for the multiplication results of the original image and the random phase mask, and then expand the transformed pattern to be the same size and shape of Walsh code. The expanded pattern is finally encrypted by multiplying with the Walsh code image and the binary phase mask. We generate several encryption images as the same encryption process. The reconstruction image is detected on a CCD plane by a despread process and Fourier transform for the multiplication result of encryption image and hierarchical decryption keys which are generated by Walsh code and binary random phase image. Computer simulations demonstrate that the proposed technique can decrypt hierarchical information by using only one level decryption key image and it has a good robustness to the data loss such as random cropping.

Visual cryptography made it possible to decrypt the Information encrypted by thresholding scheme not with digital system but with human vision system. This method, however, has some limit in it because of the rack of resolution in both the spatial and amplitude domain. Optical visual cryptography, which used laser system instead of human eyesight, was proposed by conjunction of the optical theory with the cryptography. However, it also had some difficulties because it did not overcome the existing problem of visual cryptography completely. The problem occurred in the process of transferring data processing system from visual to optics. Therefore, it is appropriate to approach these problems in terms of optics. In this paper, we analysis, in the aspect of frequency, the security characteristics and the noise level occurred in the process of optical visual encryption.
