High secure binary phase multifactor optical ID tag based on photon-counting

We propose, for the first time, multifactor optical ID tag authentication using binary phase encrypted data and photon-counting. We are able to encrypt and compress the primary information contained in the ID tag by applying a binarizing method to the phase data of multifactor encrypted function and combining with photon-counting imaging technique. From this proposal, a binary phase optical identity (BPOID) tag is implemented for authentication. Numerical experiments and results are presented to demonstrate the performance of this ID tag. Cryptanalysis results of the BPOID tag is proved to be anti-counterfeit when applying chosen-plaintext attack (CPA) and is more robust against chosen-cyphertext attack (CCA) based on photon-counting technique.
