Meanwhile, how to ensure and improve its security has become the focus of international research. We combine DNA codec with quantum Arnold transform(QAr T) to propose a new double encryption algorithm for quantum color images to improve the security and robustness of image encryption. First, we utilize the biological characteristics of DNA codecs to perform encoding and decoding operations on pixel color information in quantum color images, and achieve pixel-level diffusion. Second, we use QAr T to scramble the position information of quantum images and use the operated image as the key matrix for quantum XOR operations. All quantum operations in this paper are reversible, so the decryption operation of the ciphertext image can be realized by the reverse operation of the encryption process. We conduct simulation experiments on encryption and decryption using three color images of “Monkey”, “Flower”, and “House”. The experimental results show that the peak value and correlation of the encrypted images on the histogram have good similarity, and the average normalized pixel change rate(NPCR) of RGB three-channel is 99.61%, the average uniform average change intensity(UACI) is 33.41%,and the average information entropy is about 7.9992. In addition, the robustness of the proposed algorithm is verified by the simulation of noise interference in the actual scenario.展开更多

However,the downlink broadcast exposes the physical layer vulnerable to the threat of illegal eavesdropping. Quantum noise stream cipher(QNSC) is a classic physical layer encryption method and well compatible with the OFDM-PON. Meanwhile, it is indispensable to exploit forward error correction(FEC) to control errors in data transmission. However, when QNSC and FEC are jointly coded, the redundant information becomes heavier and thus the code rate of the transmitted signal will be largely reduced. In this work, we propose a physical layer encryption scheme based on polar-code-assisted QNSC. In order to improve the code rate and security of the transmitted signal, we exploit chaotic sequences to yield the redundant bits and utilize the redundant information of the polar code to generate the higher-order encrypted signal in the QNSC scheme with the operation of the interleaver.We experimentally demonstrate the encrypted 16/64-QAM, 16/256-QAM, 16/1024-QAM, 16/4096-QAM QNSC signals transmitted over 30-km standard single mode fiber. For the transmitted 16/4096-QAM QNSC signal, compared with the conventional QNSC method, the proposed method increases the code rate from 0.1 to 0.32 with enhanced security.展开更多

Firstly, the plain image is sparsely represented using the discrete wavelet transform.Then, the coefficient matrix is scrambled and compressed to obtain a size-reduced image using the Fisher–Yates shuffle and parallel compressive sensing. Subsequently, to increase the security of the proposed algorithm, the compressed image is re-encrypted through permutation and diffusion to obtain a noise-like secret image. Finally, an adaptive embedding method based on edge detection for different carrier images is proposed to generate a visually meaningful cipher image. To improve the plaintext sensitivity of the algorithm, the counter mode is combined with the hash function to generate keys for chaotic systems. Additionally, an effective permutation method is designed to scramble the pixels of the compressed image in the re-encryption stage. The simulation results and analyses demonstrate that the proposed algorithm performs well in terms of visual security and decryption quality.展开更多

文摘Attribute-based encryption(ABE)is a cryptographic framework that provides flexible access control by allowing encryption based on user attributes.ABE is widely applied in cloud storage,file sharing,e-Health,and digital rightsmanagement.ABE schemes rely on hard cryptographic assumptions such as pairings and others(pairingfree)to ensure their security against external and internal attacks.Internal attacks are carried out by authorized users who misuse their access to compromise security with potentially malicious intent.One common internal attack is the attribute collusion attack,in which users with different attribute keys collaborate to decrypt data they could not individually access.This paper focuses on the ciphertext-policy ABE(CP-ABE),a type of ABE where ciphertexts are produced with access policies.Our firstwork is to carry out the attribute collusion attack against several existing pairingfree CP-ABE schemes.As a main contribution,we introduce a novel attack,termed the anonymous key-leakage attack,concerning the context in which users could anonymously publish their secret keys associated with certain attributes on public platforms without the risk of detection.This kind of internal attack has not been defined or investigated in the literature.We then show that several prominent pairing-based CP-ABE schemes are vulnerable to this attack.We believe that this work will contribute to helping the community evaluate suitable CP-ABE schemes for secure deployment in real-life applications.

文摘Existing chaotic encryption schemes primarily focus on single types of images,making the design of hybrid image encryption schemes more suitable for practical applications.In this paper,a hyperchaotic map with a spherical attractor is proposed,which is constructed using spherical coordinates.Dynamical analyses reveal that the hyperchaotic map exhibits global hyperchaos and high complexity,making it capable of generating more complex chaotic sequences suitable for image encryption.A hybrid encryption scheme based on a hyperchaotic map is proposed for two-dimensional(2D)images,three-dimensional(3D)models,and 3D point clouds.Firstly,the pixels of 2D image and the coordinate data of 3D image are fused into a plaintext cube,which is combined with Hash-512 to obtain the initial value of the hyperchaotic map.Chaotic sequences are utilized for cube space internal confusion and dynamic cross-diffusion.The encrypted images demonstrate high information entropy,and the test results show that the encryption scheme effectively protects the images.The proposed hybrid image encryption scheme provides an efficient solution for securing various types of images.

文摘In the field of Internet, an image is of great significance to information transmission. Meanwhile, how to ensure and improve its security has become the focus of international research. We combine DNA codec with quantum Arnold transform(QAr T) to propose a new double encryption algorithm for quantum color images to improve the security and robustness of image encryption. First, we utilize the biological characteristics of DNA codecs to perform encoding and decoding operations on pixel color information in quantum color images, and achieve pixel-level diffusion. Second, we use QAr T to scramble the position information of quantum images and use the operated image as the key matrix for quantum XOR operations. All quantum operations in this paper are reversible, so the decryption operation of the ciphertext image can be realized by the reverse operation of the encryption process. We conduct simulation experiments on encryption and decryption using three color images of “Monkey”, “Flower”, and “House”. The experimental results show that the peak value and correlation of the encrypted images on the histogram have good similarity, and the average normalized pixel change rate(NPCR) of RGB three-channel is 99.61%, the average uniform average change intensity(UACI) is 33.41%,and the average information entropy is about 7.9992. In addition, the robustness of the proposed algorithm is verified by the simulation of noise interference in the actual scenario.

文摘Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing passive optical network(OFDM-PON) has superior anti-dispersion property to operate in the C-band of fiber for increased optical power budget. However,the downlink broadcast exposes the physical layer vulnerable to the threat of illegal eavesdropping. Quantum noise stream cipher(QNSC) is a classic physical layer encryption method and well compatible with the OFDM-PON. Meanwhile, it is indispensable to exploit forward error correction(FEC) to control errors in data transmission. However, when QNSC and FEC are jointly coded, the redundant information becomes heavier and thus the code rate of the transmitted signal will be largely reduced. In this work, we propose a physical layer encryption scheme based on polar-code-assisted QNSC. In order to improve the code rate and security of the transmitted signal, we exploit chaotic sequences to yield the redundant bits and utilize the redundant information of the polar code to generate the higher-order encrypted signal in the QNSC scheme with the operation of the interleaver.We experimentally demonstrate the encrypted 16/64-QAM, 16/256-QAM, 16/1024-QAM, 16/4096-QAM QNSC signals transmitted over 30-km standard single mode fiber. For the transmitted 16/4096-QAM QNSC signal, compared with the conventional QNSC method, the proposed method increases the code rate from 0.1 to 0.32 with enhanced security.

文摘A novel image encryption scheme based on parallel compressive sensing and edge detection embedding technology is proposed to improve visual security. Firstly, the plain image is sparsely represented using the discrete wavelet transform.Then, the coefficient matrix is scrambled and compressed to obtain a size-reduced image using the Fisher–Yates shuffle and parallel compressive sensing. Subsequently, to increase the security of the proposed algorithm, the compressed image is re-encrypted through permutation and diffusion to obtain a noise-like secret image. Finally, an adaptive embedding method based on edge detection for different carrier images is proposed to generate a visually meaningful cipher image. To improve the plaintext sensitivity of the algorithm, the counter mode is combined with the hash function to generate keys for chaotic systems. Additionally, an effective permutation method is designed to scramble the pixels of the compressed image in the re-encryption stage. The simulation results and analyses demonstrate that the proposed algorithm performs well in terms of visual security and decryption quality.

文摘As an optical processor,a diffractive deep neural network(D2NN)utilizes engineered diffractive surfaces designed through machine learning to perform all-optical information processing,completing its tasks at the speed of light propagation through thin optical layers.With sufficient degrees of freedom,D2NNs can perform arbitrary complex-valued linear transformations using spatially coherent light.Similarly,D2NNs can also perform arbitrary linear intensity transformations with spatially incoherent illumination;however,under spatially incoherent light,these transformations are nonnegative,acting on diffraction-limited optical intensity patterns at the input field of view.Here,we expand the use of spatially incoherent D2NNs to complex-valued information processing for executing arbitrary complex-valued linear transformations using spatially incoherent light.Through simulations,we show that as the number of optimized diffractive features increases beyond a threshold dictated by the multiplication of the input and output space-bandwidth products,a spatially incoherent diffractive visual processor can approximate any complex-valued linear transformation and be used for all-optical image encryption using incoherent illumination.The findings are important for the all-optical processing of information under natural light using various forms of diffractive surface-based optical processors.

文摘With the development of Internet of Things technology,intelligent door lock devices are widely used in the field of house leasing.In the traditional housing leasing scenario,problems of door lock information disclosure,tenant privacy disclosure and rental contract disputes frequently occur,and the security,fairness and auditability of the housing leasing transaction cannot be guaranteed.To solve the above problems,a blockchain-based proxy re-encryption scheme with conditional privacy protection and auditability is proposed.The scheme implements fine-grained access control of door lock data based on attribute encryption technology with policy hiding,and uses proxy re-encryption technology to achieve auditable supervision of door lock information transactions.Homomorphic encryption technology and zero-knowledge proof technology are introduced to ensure the confidentiality of housing rent information and the fairness of rent payment.To construct a decentralized housing lease transaction architecture,the scheme realizes the efficient collaboration between the door lock data ciphertext stored under the chain and the key information ciphertext on the chain based on the blockchain and InterPlanetary File System.Finally,the security proof and computing performance analysis of the proposed scheme are carried out.The results show that the scheme can resist the chosen plaintext attack and has low computational cost.

文摘Security during remote transmission has been an important concern for researchers in recent years.In this paper,a hierarchical encryption multi-image encryption scheme for people with different security levels is designed,and a multiimage encryption(MIE)algorithm with row and column confusion and closed-loop bi-directional diffusion is adopted in the paper.While ensuring secure communication of medical image information,people with different security levels have different levels of decryption keys,and differentiated visual effects can be obtained by using the strong sensitivity of chaotic keys.The highest security level can obtain decrypted images without watermarks,and at the same time,patient information and copyright attribution can be verified by obtaining watermark images.The experimental results show that the scheme is sufficiently secure as an MIE scheme with visualized differences and the encryption and decryption efficiency is significantly improved compared to other works.

文摘It remains a big challenge to develop solid-state stimuli-responsive materials for time-dependent information encryption and inkless erasable printing with long retention times.Herein,a 2D Cu_(2)I_(2)-based MOF with photoresponsive spiropyran(SP)groups orderly installed on its skeleton is developed.The structural isomerization from SP to colored merocyanine(MC)form can be triggered by removing the CH_(3)CN vips.Besides,the degree of structural isomerization and the retention time can be adjusted by controlling the amount of CH_(3)CN vips,exhibiting dynamic photochromic behavior with multicolor states and tunable retention time.Based on these advantages,time-dependent information encryption is successfully achieved.Furthermore,the long retention time(>72 h)of the MC form under daylight conditions in the CH_(3)CN-removed Cu_(2)I_(2)-based MOF and good repeatability make it promising in various applications,such as temporary calendars,price-cards,billboards,and reusable identity cards.This work provides a novel design strategy to fabricate multi-functional MOF-based smart materials for challenging applications of time-dependent information encryption and inkless erasable printing.

文摘Traditional email systems can only achieve one-way communication,which means only the receiver is allowed to search for emails on the email server.In this paper,we propose a blockchain-based certificateless bidirectional authenticated searchable encryption model for a cloud email system named certificateless authenticated bidirectional searchable encryption(CL-BSE)by combining the storage function of cloud server with the communication function of email server.In the new model,not only can the data receiver search for the relevant content by generating its own trapdoor,but the data owner also can retrieve the content in the same way.Meanwhile,there are dual authentication functions in our model.First,during encryption,the data owner uses the private key to authenticate their identity,ensuring that only legal owner can generate the keyword ciphertext.Second,the blockchain verifies the data owner’s identity by the received ciphertext,allowing only authorized members to store their data in the server and avoiding unnecessary storage space consumption.We obtain a formal definition of CL-BSE and formulate a specific scheme from the new system model.Then the security of the scheme is analyzed based on the formalized security model.The results demonstrate that the scheme achieves multikeyword ciphertext indistinguishability andmulti-keyword trapdoor privacy against any adversary simultaneously.In addition,performance evaluation shows that the new scheme has higher computational and communication efficiency by comparing it with some existing ones.

文摘This paper explores a double quantum images representation(DNEQR)model that allows for simultaneous storage of two digital images in a quantum superposition state.Additionally,a new type of two-dimensional hyperchaotic system based on sine and logistic maps is investigated,offering a wider parameter space and better chaotic behavior compared to the sine and logistic maps.Based on the DNEQR model and the hyperchaotic system,a double quantum images encryption algorithm is proposed.Firstly,two classical plaintext images are transformed into quantum states using the DNEQR model.Then,the proposed hyperchaotic system is employed to iteratively generate pseudo-random sequences.These chaotic sequences are utilized to perform pixel value and position operations on the quantum image,resulting in changes to both pixel values and positions.Finally,the ciphertext image can be obtained by qubit-level diffusion using two XOR operations between the position-permutated image and the pseudo-random sequences.The corresponding quantum circuits are also given.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme ensures the security of the images during transmission,improves the encryption efficiency,and enhances anti-interference and anti-attack capabilities.
