Xiaogang Wang, Daomu Zhao · Optics Letters · 2013
We propose a simple amplitude-phase retrieval attack free cryptosystem based on direct attack to phase-truncated Fourier-transform-based encryption using a random amplitude mask (RAM). The RAM that is not saved during the encryption provides extremely high security for the two private keys, and no iterative calculations are involved in the nonlinear encryption process. Lack of enough constraints makes the specific attack based on iterative amplitude-phase retrieval algorithms unusable. Numerical simulation results are given for testing the validity and security of the proposed approach.
