Image encryption algorithm based on the random local phase encoding in gyrator transform domains

A random local phase encoding method is presented for encrypting a secret image. Some random polygons are introduced to control the local regions of random phase encoding. The data located in the random polygon is encoded by random phase encoding. The random phase data is the main key in this encryption method. The different random phases calculated by using a monotonous function are employed. The random data defining random polygon serves as an additional key for enhancing the security of the image encryption scheme. Numerical simulations are given for demonstrating the performance of the proposed encryption approach.
