Abstract

Linear canonical transform (LCT) is widely used in wave propagation modeling and signal processing. This paper proposes a discrete random quaternion LCT (DRQLCT) by integrating quaternion algebra with random discrete LCT (RDLCT), significantly enhancing the flexibility and security of multidimensional signal processing. We establish a unified DRQLCT mathematical model for 1D/2D signals and explore the fundamental properties of DRQLCT. We propose an efficient discrete method to implement DRQLCT that exploits the relationship between the four components of DRQLCT and the RDLCT of the signal. Finally, the DRQLCT is applied to color image encryption and constructs a quaternion-domain randomized encryption system. Results demonstrate that the proposed method performs well in encryption performance and robustness.
