Abstract: | In this paper, an asymmetric hybrid encryption scheme, using coherent superposition and modified equal modulus decomposition in a hybrid multi-resolution wavelet, is proposed. The hybrid multi-resolution wavelet is generated using fractional Fourier transform of multiple orders and Walsh transform. The fractional orders of the fractional Fourier transform increase the key space and hence provide additional strength to the cryptosystem. The designed scheme has a large key space to avoid brute-force attack and is non-linear in nature. The scheme is validated on grey-scale images. Computer-based simulations have been performed to verify the validity and performance of the proposed scheme against various attacks. Scheme's robustness to the special attack is also checked. Results show that single equal modulus decomposition with fractional Fourier transform and hybrid transform are vulnerable to the special attack, whereas the proposed scheme endures the special attack. |
