Holographic encryption of multi-dimensional images

A system, comprising:

• at least one memory that stores executable components;
• and
• at least one processor, coupled to the at least one memory, that executes or facilitates execution of the executable components, the executable components comprising:
• a holographic cryptographic component that receives an encrypted hologram associated with a source image and decrypts the encrypted hologram to generate a decrypted hologram based at least in part on a conjugate phase mask, wherein the encrypted hologram is based at least in part on a phase hologram that represents a first image that comprises a scaled source image and a set of random content, the source image is adjusted in size to generate the scaled source image, and the conjugate phase mask inversely corresponds to a random phase mask used to encrypt the phase hologram to generate the encrypted hologram;
• and
• a display component that presents a reconstructed source image that is generated in response to illumination of at least a portion of the decrypted hologram using a coherent light beam.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:

• generating a global image that comprises a modified source image and a set of random content, wherein a source image is modified in size in at least one dimension to generate the modified source image, the modified source image is randomly located in a first location within the global image, and the set of random content is located in one or more other locations within the global image that do not overlap the first location;
• generating a phase-only hologram that represents the global image;
• and
• encrypting the phase-only hologram, based at least in part on a random phase mask, to facilitate cryptographically securing the modified source image.

A system, comprising:

• means for generating a first image that comprises a modified source image and a set of random content, wherein a source image is adjusted in size to generate the modified source image, the modified source image is randomly located in a first location within the first image, and the set of random content is located in one or more other locations within the first image that do not overlap the first location;
• means for generating a phase hologram that represents the first image;
• and
• means for encrypting the phase hologram, based at least in part on a random phase mask, to facilitate cryptographically securing the modified source image.
