In this paper, we define a blind-block reciprocal- transpose matrix operator (BBRT). One of the interesting proprieties of the BBRT matrix is that it is very easy to obtain its inverse. We then propose a new blind-block reciprocal parametric transform and show that its matrix operator is a BBRT matrix. The transform has a large number of independent parameters that are useful for many applications and can specifically be used as an additional secret key for encryption and watermarking. It is shown that the proposed transform reduces to some of the existing transforms and also to new classes of parametric transforms having some desirable proprieties.
