  • Patent number: 11902430
    Abstract: Disclosed are a quantum color image encrypting method based on modification direction and corresponding circuit, respectively providing quantum modular circuits design for a parallel adder, a parallel subtractor, a comparator, a cyclic shift add 1, and a cyclic shift subtract 1; and based on these modular circuits, circuit for implementing quantum color image steganography is provided. From the complexity analysis of implementing quantum circuit for color image steganography, it is seen that for a two-dimensional quantum color image with 22n pixels and the R, G, and B channels of which are respectively represented by q number of quantum bits, the steganography algorithm is an efficient transformation method, and the circuit complexity is O(q2+n), which can hardly be achieved by classical geometric transformation. The disclosure is applicable for many practical image processing applications, e.g.
