PiouCrypt: Decentralized Lattice-based Method for Visual Symmetric Cryptography
This addresses the problem of limited secure visual cryptography solutions for security engineers and researchers, especially against emerging quantum computational threats.
The paper tackles secure visual communication by proposing PiouCrypt, a decentralized lattice-based method for image encryption that provides optimal resistance for the post-quantum era and is theoretically secure.
In recent years, establishing secure visual communications has turned into one of the essential problems for security engineers and researchers. However, only limited novel solutions are provided for image encryption, and limiting the visual cryptography to only limited schemes can bring up negative consequences, especially with emerging quantum computational systems. This paper presents a novel algorithm for establishing secure private visual communication. The proposed method has a layered architecture with several cohesive components, and corresponded with an NP-hard problem, despite its symmetric structure. This two-step technique is not limited to gray-scale pictures, and furthermore, utilizing a lattice structure causes to proposed method has optimal resistance for the post-quantum era, and is relatively secure from the theoretical dimension.
