Error-free holographic frames encryption with CA pixel-permutation encoding algorithm

•Holographic frames encryption via new CA pixel-permutation encoding algorithm.•Huge library of cryptographic keys derived from a family of CA.•Property of floating-point-free of CA provides error free encoding.

The security of video data is necessary in network security transmission hence cryptography is technique to make video data secure and unreadable to unauthorized users. In this paper, we propose a holographic frames encryption technique based on the cellular automata (CA) pixel-permutation encoding algorithm. The concise pixel-permutation algorithm is used to address the drawbacks of the traditional CA encoding methods. The effectiveness of the proposed video encoding method is demonstrated by simulation examples.
