基于光学超表面生成空间密钥的增强型可视密码技术

    Enhanced visual cryptography utilizing spatial keys generated by optical metasurface

    • 摘要: 超表面凭借其对光波前多自由度的调控能力,已成为新一代信息存储与传输的重要平台。尽管基于多通道超表面的信息复用技术已广泛发展,但一旦发生部分信息泄露,明文数据仍面临被破解的风险。视觉秘密共享(VSS)作为一种高效便捷的加密方法,与多通道超表面系统结合后,能够进一步提升加密性能。提出了一种基于全介质光学超表面的VSS加密策略,该策略实现了近场与远场响应的有效解耦。在该设计中,两个共享密钥(SKs)分别编码于纳米打印通道与全息显示通道。解密时,需对两个通道的输出信号依次解码,并执行一次叠加操作,方可恢复原始加密信息。仿真与实验结果均验证了所提理论框架的有效性。将VSS加密方案与超表面显示技术融合,显著增强了加密安全性,为光学加密技术的发展提供了新思路。

       

      Abstract: Owing to their inherent capability to manipulate multiple degrees of freedom of optical wavefronts, metasurfaces have emerged as a new-generation platform for information storage and transmission. Although multi-channel metasurfaces have been extensively explored for information multiplexing, plaintext data remain vulnerable to decryption once partial information leakage occurs. Visual secret sharing (VSS) encryption, recognized as a simple and efficient technique, can be further enhanced by integrating with multi-channel metasurface systems. In this work, a VSS encryption strategy based on an all-dielectric optical metasurface is proposed, featuring decoupled near-field and far-field responses. Two shared keys (SKs) are employed and separately assigned to the nanoprinting and holographic pathways. Retrieving the encrypted information requires independent decoding of the dual-channel signals, followed by an additional superposition operation. Both simulation and experimental results confirm the validity of the theoretical framework. The integration of VSS encryption with metasurface display technology significantly enhances encryption security, paving the way for further advancement of metasurface-based encryption techniques.
