PhD Thesis at the University of Basrah Examines Secure Optical Encryption Systems for Biometric Images
A PhD thesis at the College of Science at the University of Basrah examined secure optical encryption systems based on interference for biometric images.
The thesis, presented by student Hawra Abdul-Ridha Khalaf, aimed to develop advanced optical encryption techniques that can be adopted in biometric applications.
The thesis included the development of innovative systems for encrypting and decrypting dual images by combining optical interference with spatial coding. This aims to address the shadow problem, increase system capacity, and enhance security.
The results demonstrated that the proposed methods are practical and effective, and fingerprint and retinal images demonstrated high accuracy and reliability. The results also demonstrated that the asymmetric system, which relies on the fingerprint as a secret key, is distinguished by its ability to eliminate key exchange while achieving greater security.
