Abstract

A multi-order discrete fractional Mellin transform (MODFrMT) is constructed and directly used to encrypt the private images. The MODFrMT is a generalization of the fractional Mellin transform (FrMT) and is derived by transforming the image with multi-order discrete fractional Fourier transform (MODFrFT) in log-polar coordinates, where the MODFrFT is generalized from the closed-form expression of the discrete fractional Fourier transform (DFrFT) and can be calculated by fast Fourier transform (FFT) to reduce the computation burden. The fractional order vectors of the MODFrMT are sensitive enough to be the keys, and consequently key space of the encryption system is enlarged. The proposed image encryption algorithm has significant ability to resist some common attacks like known-plaintext attack, chosen-plaintext attack, etc. due to the nonlinear property of the MODFrMT. Additionally, Kaplan–Yorke map is employed in coordinate transformation process of the MODFrMT to further enhance the security of the encryption system. The computer simulation results show that the proposed encryption algorithm is feasible, secure and robust to noise attack and occlusion.
