Cryptanalysis of random phase encryption based on collinear holographic data storage system

This paper analyzed the security of random phase encryption holographic storage technology. Taking binary random phase as an example, the recorded hologram is continually readout by series guessing reference. The experiment showed that the correlation coefficient between readout information and the recorded information was firstly decreased and then increased when the phase correct ratio of guessing reference is increased from 0% to 100%. The recorded information can’t be readout at all when the phase correct ratio of guessing reference range from 40% to 60%. Since the guessing reference with phase correct ratio between 40% and 60% has occupied majority guessing cases, the recorded information can’t be cracked in most cases. This indicates the high security of the random phase encryption storage technique.
