Image encryption based on double random amplitude coding in random hartley transform domain

We propose an image encryption scheme based on double random amplitude coding technique by using random Hartley transform, which is defined according to the random Fourier transform. The significant feature of this algorithm is that the encrypted image is real and convenient for storage as well as transfer of the encrypted information. Moreover, the algorithm has enhanced security and the correct information of original image can be well protected under bare decryption, blind decryption and brute force attacks. Numerical simulation results are also presented in support of the proposed scheme.
