Abstract
The ability of metamaterials to manipulate optical waves in the spatial and spectral domain has provided opportunities for image encoding. This combined with recent advances in hyperspectral imaging suggest exciting new opportunities for secure encryption. In this work, we propose a multi-channel scheme for secure image transmission across multiple wavelength channels. In contrast to conventional encryption schemes that perform a 1-to-1 transformation on a given plain image, we propose a 1-to-n transformation. We show that our scheme provides security against attacks of varying complexity provided a reasonable number of spectral channels is used.
