O. Kafri, and E. Keren, “Encryption of pictures and shapes by random grids,” Optics Letters, vol. 12, no. 6, 1987, pp. 377-379.

In 1987, Kafri and Keren propose three different algorithms to encrypt a binary secret image.

Research Methods

Encryption phase:Step 1: SA(i, j) ← f RSP(SA).

Randomly select a pixel SA(i, j) from the first secret image SA, where the i-th row and the j-th column of the matrix SA are in the range of [0,m-1].

Step 2: G1(i, j)||G2(i, j) ← f RG(SA(i, j))
