We propose a framework to encrypt Baseline JPEG files directly at bitstream level, i.e., without the need to recompress them. Our approach enables encrypting more than 25 pictures per second in VGA resolution, allowing real-time operation in typical video surveillance applications. In addition, our approach preserves the length of the bitstream while being completely format-compliant. Furthermore, we show that an attack on the encryption process, which partly relies on AES, is practically infeasible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
