In this paper, we propose an improved optical security system using three phase-encoded images and the principle of interference. This optical system based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer consists of one phase-encoded virtual image to be encrypted and two phase-encoded images, en-crypting image and decrypting image, where every pixel in the three images has a phase value of '0'and'$\pi$'. The proposed encryption is performed by the multiplication of an encrypting image and a phase-encoded virtual image which dose not contain any information from the decrypted im-age. Therefore, even if the unauthorized users steal and analyze the encrypted image, they cannot reconstruct the required image. This virtual image protects the original image from counterfeiting and unauthorized access. The decryption of the original image is simply performed by interfering between a reference wave and a direct pixel-to-pixel mapping image of the en crypted image with a decrypting image. Computer simulations confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed optical technique for optical security applications.

In this paper, we propose an improved image encryption and the shift-tolerance method in the Fourier space using a virtual phase image. The encrypted image is obtained by the Fourier transform of the product of a phase-encoded virtual image, not an original image, and a random phase image. Therefore, even if unauthorized users analyze the encrypted image, we can prevent the possibility of counterfeiting from unauthorized people using virtual image which dose not contain any information from the original image. The decryption technique is simply performed by inverse Fourier transform of the interference pattern between the encrypted image and the Fourier decrypting key, made of proposed phase assignment rule, in frequency domain. We demonstrate the robustness to noise, to data loss and shift of the encrypted image or the Fourier decryption key in the proposed technique.

In this paper, we propose an improved image encryption and decryption method using a phase-encoded virtual image and interference. An original image is simply decrypted by interfering a reference wave with the wave passing through a decrypting key and the encrypted image, where every image has grey level. The proposed encryption is performed by the multiplication of an encrypting key and a phase-encoded virtual image which dose not contain any information for the original image. Therefore even if unauthorized people analyze the encrypted image, they cannot reconstruct the original image. Also grey image encryption can improve the encryption level compared to binary image encryption. Computer simulation and optical experiments confirmed that the proposed technique is a simple for optical encryption.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the features of the application of criminal and legal countermeasures against cybercrime in the conditions of martial law. While conducting this research, we found an opportunity to formulate the author's recommendations for solving the most complex law enforcement problems, as well as to propose changes to the Criminal Code of Ukraine aimed at eliminating the flaws of the analyzed Law, the adoption of which will contribute to the achievement of higher efficiency of the relevant criminal law prescriptions. It is argued that the removal of the previously existing in the footnote of Art. 361 of the Criminal Code of a fundamentally important caveat regarding the fact that when assessing "significant damage", the mentioned property equivalent was to be taken into account only when such damage consisted in causing material damage, which led to a significant and unjustified narrowing of the scope of potential application of Part 4 of Article 361 of the Criminal Code.

In frequency hopping spread spectrum(FHSS) communication systems, exact frequency synchronization is required due to the random hopping of carrier frequencies between transmitter and receiver even under harsh channel conditions. For synchronization of FHSS communications, multi-frequency hopping synchronization(MFHS) method has been used in which a small set of frequencies are repeatedly sent several times for long duration. But this long duration resulted in being easily detected by the unauthorized users as well as long duration of acquisition time. In this paper, motivated by these problems, an adaptive synchronization method(ASM) is proposed. ASM is technics to reduce the synchronization time where the number of synchronization frequencies and repetition numbers is adaptively changed (increased or decreased) according to the channel conditions. The performance analysis showed that the time duration of synchronization was reduced to 0.2sec, and the influence of jamming or interference was decreased to 46% in ASM.

In this paper, we propose an efficient estimation algorithm to find unknown location of an earth station for a geostationary satellite system. A cross ambiguity function (CAF), using time difference of arrival (TDOA) and frequency difference arrival (FDOA), is usually used to estimate the unknown location of an unauthorized earth station which may invoke interference to the existing satellite systems. However, a practical estimation of the location data requires tremendous computational time of CAF, and this prohibits direct utilization of CAF. For this reason, we propose a computationally efficient algorithm which utilizes characteristics of TDOA and FDOA within CAF. The proposed algorithm greatly enhances the computational efficiency without any performance degradation. In addition, we demonstrate the simulation results on the estimation performance by the resolution of the CAF estimation. The results provided in this paper will be utilized at the real system implementation.

In this paper, we propose an improved image encryption and decryption method using a virtual image and a joint transform correlator (JTC). The encrypted image is obtained by the Fourier transform of the product of a virtual-phase image and a random-phase image, and a Fourier transform of the decrypting key generated by the proposed phase assignment rule is used as the Fourier decrypting key. Based on the solution, the original image is reconstructed using JTC in the frequency-domain. The proposed method using a virtual image, which does not contain any information from the original image, prevents the possibility of counterfeiting by unauthorized people. And also the auto-correlation terms, which are the drawback of a JTC system, contribute to reconstructing the original image rather than to disturbing its identification. But because phase-only encryptions are sensitive to noise and scratches, phase errors can be generated in fabricating the encrypted image or the Fourier decrypting key so the errors that are responsible for degradation of the quality of the reconstructed image are analyzed and the solution is demonstrated. Computer simulations show the solution, and the proposed method is very useful for JTC architecture.
