An optical multiple-image authentication is suggested using computational ghost imaging and total-variation minimization. Differing from encrypting multiple images into a noise-like ciphertext directly, as described in most conventional authentication methods, the related encoded information is embedded into a cover image to avoid the attention of eavesdroppers. First, multiple images are encoded to form real-valued sequences composed of corresponding bucket values obtained by the aid of computational ghost imaging, and four sub-images are obtained by decomposing the cover image using wavelet transform. Second, measured sequences are embedded into one of the sub-images, and embedding positions are randomly selected using corresponding binary masks. To enhance the security level, a chaotic sequence is produced using logistic map and used to scramble measured intensities. Most importantly, original images with high quality can be directly recovered using total-variation minimization. The validity and robustness of the proposed approach are verified with optical experiments. |
