Image encryption using the reciprocal-orthogonal parametric transform

Discrete transforms have been widely used in various signal processing applications. Specifically, transform-based data encryption techniques have become attractive for many recent communication systems. In this paper, we propose a fast and efficient image encryption method based on the reciprocal-orthogonal parametric (ROP) transform. By exploiting the properties of the ROP transform, we show that its independent parameters can successfully be used as an additional secret key for encryption. Experiments results carried clearly show the efficiency of the proposed encryption method.
