An encrypted hiding scheme for 3D objects based on CGH and Henon mapping

Abstract A method is proposed to enhance the security of three-dimensional (3D) objects through computer-generated hologram (CGH) encryption and hiding. The process begins by encoding the 3D object using an iterative angular-spectrum layer-oriented method to create an optimized phase-only CGH. Next, the encrypted image is produced by modulating the phase-only CGH with a chaotic random phase mask (CRPM) generated through Henon mapping. Subsequently, a combination of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) is utilized to embed the encrypted data into a visually secure image, ensuring the encryption and concealment of 3D objects. During decryption, the accurate decryption procedure and keys must be applied to achieve the final reconstruction. The utilization of CGH in conjunction with CRPM effectively enhances the security of 3D objects, while the integration of DWT and SVD ensures the visual security properties of the encrypted data, providing a dual layer of protection for 3D objects. Experimental simulation results demonstrate that this approach achieves high-security encryption and concealment of 3D objects, ensuring high-quality decryption of 3D objects during the reconstruction process.
