<![CDATA[Purpose: This research proposes an improvised version of the image encryption technique by incorporating Quantum Random Phase Encoding with the Arnold Transform to help enhance the strength and non-predictability of the encryption process. In this research work, some ideas gained from quantum-based methods have been brought to use with conventional approaches in image encryption techniques for enhancing their security. Methods: This model represents the basic methodology that underlies the Arnold Transform for scrambling the arrangement of image pixels to mask recognizable structures within quantum random phase encoding to introduce complexity through quantum-generated random phases. Result: The experimental results show much improvement in encryption efficiency. For example, in the case of "Cameraman" and "Lena", MSE parameters are 98.134 and 104.76, respectively; these now go up to 832.01 and 888.78. This implies that the higher decrement of these values 21.17 dB and 23.98 dB to 13.41 dB and 13.33 dB translates into higher distortion with higher security. Meanwhile, UACI and NPCR are also very steady and the mean value is about 0.3356 to 0.3358 and 99.60 to 99.61, which proves that this method has been effective in changing the pixel's value, and sensitive input changes. Novelty: This work is novel due to the introduction of quantum technologies in the classical methodology of image encryption. While classical techniques make use of conventional transforms for scrambling, like the Arnold Transform, this work embeds quantum randomness and intricacy in the process as a means of encoding namely, Quantum Random Phase Encoding.]]>
