*9660255摘要这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目涉及开发和应用光学数据采集系统、I/O设备、光学数据分析和识别，以创新的方式从光学物理的基本概念衍生到安全、信用卡、身份证、计算机芯片保护等问题。具体地说，体现相位编码的光学安全系统将被概念化为与生物测定测量相结合的加密手段，总体目标是生产自动防篡改安全系统，其应用快速发展的计算机、电荷耦合器件(Ccd)技术，图像处理硬件和软件、打印机、扫描仪和复印机，可提供对个人的实时验证和安全验证，并可扩展到对物体、文件等的验证。在第一阶段，将发展各种概念，重点是视网膜扫描的使用。将进行一项贸易研究，以选择一个可行的概念，供今后实施。这一概念将迅速形成原型，用于概念验证实验、拟议概念的可行性评估以及为第二阶段提供初步设计和演示计划，该阶段将涉及开发、建造和测试光学安全系统的黄铜板模型。商业市场迫切需要一种简单、廉价的方案来遏制该领域猖獗的20亿美元欺诈案。此外，在进入安全或敏感区域，以及对政府购买的计算机芯片等部件进行验证方面，还有大量的军事用途。相位编码加密方案很可能可以解决这两个问题。***

*** ABSTRACT 9660255 Sabri This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project involves research on development and application of optical data acquisition system, I/O devices, optical data analysis and recognition, derived from basic concepts in optical physics in innovative ways to problems in security, credit cards, identification cards, protection of computer chips, etc. Specifically, an optical security system embodying phase-encoding will be conceptualized as encryption means in conjunction with biometric measurements, with the general objective of production of an automatic tamper-proof security system, which cannot be defeated by application of the rapidly advancing computers, charged coupled device (CCD) technology, image processing hardware and software, printers, scanners, and copiers, which can provide real-time validation and security verification of individuals, and which can be extended to verification of objects, documents, etc. In Phase I, various concepts will be developed with emphasis on the use of retinal scanning. A trade study will be performed to select a feasible concept for future implementation. The concept will be rapidly prototyped for a proof-of-concept experiment, for feasibility evaluation of the proposed concept, and for providing a preliminary design and demonstration plan for Phase II, which will involve development, building, and testing of a brass-board model of the optical security system. The commercial market is desperately in need of a simple, inexpensive scheme to stem the $2 billion fraud rampant in this sector. In addition, there are ample military uses in entry into secure or sensitive areas, and the verification of parts, such as computer chips purchased by the government. It is very likely that phase-encoded encryption schemes could solve both these problems. ***
