Summary:This paper presents a method aimed at encrypting color images using vector operations and secondary image phase masks (SPMs). In this encryption, the optical coherent superposition principle is used to separate and overlay the original image into two phase plates on the three channels R, G and B, respectively. Then the double random phase encoding in the Fresnel domain is performed using the SPMs to encrypt one of the phase plates. Finally, the Kronecker product of two random matrices is directly perform randomization on the encoded image, achieving multilevel encryption of color images. Computer simulations are presented to demonstrate its performance, and the feasibility and security of the proposed system are analyzed as well.
