The image
security problem is an important area in information security, and image
encryption plays a vital role in this day. To protect the image encryption from
the attack of quantum algorithm appeared recently, an image encryption method based
on quantum Fourier transformation is proposed here. First, the image encryption
and Fourier transformation are discussed here, then a encryption function is
proposed. Second, a quantum Fourier transformation is introduced to quantum
encryption, and the full step of quantum encryption is given as well. Third,
the security of the proposed quantum encryption if analyzed, and some
propositionsare also presented. Lastly, some conclusions are indicated and some possible
directions are also listed.
