Abstract
After introducing a bit-plane quantum representation for a multi-image, we present a novel way to encrypt/decrypt multiple images using a quantum computer. Our encryption scheme is based on a two-stage scrambling of the images and of the bit planes on one hand and of the pixel positions on the other hand, each time using quantum baker maps. The resulting quantum multi-image is then diffused with controlled CNOT gates using a sine chaotification of a two-dimensional Hénon map as well as Chebyshev polynomials. The decryption is processed by operating all the inverse quantum gates in the reverse order.
