Multichanneled encryption via a joint transform correlator architecture.
We propose a multichanneling encryption method by using multiple random-phase mask apertures in the input plane based on a joint transform correlation scheme. In the proposal, this multiple aperture arrangement is changed as different input objects are inserted and stored. Then, during the decryption step, the appropriate use of the random-phase mask apertures can ensure the retrieval of different information. This approach provides different access levels. Computer simulations show the potential of the technique and experimental results verify the feasibility of this method.
