Abstract

Keeping images safe and secure in data transmission or storage by optical cryptography has emerged as a revolutionary technology to meet the challenge posed by the evolving cyber threat landscape. This paper reviews the states-of-the-arts optical cryptography and cryptanalysis techniques with a special focus on different optical encryption technologies and their limitations. Specifically, security gaps in the classic Double Random Phase Encoding approach and its variants are identified. Case studies into vulnerable attacking scenarios are conducted for cryptanalysis purposes. Perspectives on the future directions of optically inspired cryptology research are given accordingly.
