Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments

Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments

Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMs) are essential tools in modern surveying, offering precise distance measurements by emitting electromagnetic signals and calculating the time required for these signals to travel to a target and return. Two primary types of signals are used in EDMs — light waves and microwaves — each suited to specific environmental and distance requirements. Light-wave-based EDMs utilize either infrared or laser light, providing high accuracy over short distances...

Background:

Traditional identity authentication methods face challenges in security and efficiency.
Digital signature algorithms and optical techniques offer potential for enhanced security.
Phase retrieval algorithms enable complex optical information encoding and decoding.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel optical identity authentication scheme.
To integrate elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) and phase retrieval algorithm (PRA) for robust security.
To achieve secure and efficient user identity verification through optical means.

Main Methods:

Encoding user certification image and HMAC QR code as two phase keys using PRA in the Fresnel domain.
Performing optical authentication by illuminating phase keys with a plane wave and generating an output image.
Implementing a two-level verification: amplitude matching and ECDSA signature verification.
Utilizing keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC) for enhanced security against forgery.

Main Results:

The proposed scheme successfully performs optical identity authentication.
First-level verification achieved by matching output image amplitude with pre-stored certification images.
Second-level verification confirmed legal identity through ECDSA signature decoding and verification.
HMAC's irreversible property significantly enhances security, making phase key forgery nearly impossible.

Conclusions:

The proposed optical identity authentication scheme is feasible and effective.
The integration of ECDSA and PRA provides a secure and robust solution for identity verification.
Numerical simulations and theoretical analysis validate the scheme's performance and security advantages.
