The algorithm uses a fuzzy single neuronal dynamic system and a chaotic Hopfield neural network for chaotic sequence generation and then obtains chaotic random phase masks. Initially, the original images are decomposed into sub-signals through wavelet packet transform, and the sub-signals are divided into two layers by adaptive classification after scrambling. The double random-phase encoding in 4f system and Fresnel domain is implemented on two layers, respectively. The sub-signals are performed with different conversions according to their standard deviation to assure that the local information\u2019s security is guaranteed. Meanwhile, the parameters such as wavelength and diffraction distance are considered as additional keys, which can enhance the overall security. Then, inverse wavelet packet transform is applied to reconstruct the image, and a second scrambling is implemented. In order to handle and manage the parameters used in the scheme, the public key cryptosystem is applied. Finally, experiments and security analysis are presented to demonstrate the feasibility and robustness of the proposed scheme.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24040521","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,7]],"date-time":"2022-04-07T13:39:51Z","timestamp":1649338791000},"page":"521","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["An Optical Image Encryption Method Using Hopfield Neural Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Xitong","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shengbo","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"589","DOI":"10.1364\/AOP.1.000589","article-title":"Optical image compression and encryption methods","volume":"1","author":"Alfalou","year":"2009","journal-title":"Adv.
