Enhanced quantum image encryption using DNA–QTRNG and Sattolo-RQFT shuffling
摘要
The proposed method employs hybrid QIE combining deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) encoding, quantum true random number generator (QTRNG), and randomized quantum Fourier transform (RQFT) to enhance image encryption security. Initially, an input image is represented using novel enhanced quantum image representation (NEQR) and divided into subblocks to enhance parallel processing. NEQR encoding avoids amplitude-based measurements results in more accurate and efficient retrieval of original data. For the generation of random key sequences, a QTRNG is implemented using a combination of single-qubit rotation quantum gates RY (
