Abstract-Video encryption has been heavily researched in the recent years. This survey summarizes the latest research results on video encryption with a special focus on applicability and on the most widely-deployed video format H.264 including its scalable extension SVC. The survey intends to give researchers and practitioners an analytic and critical overview of the state-ofthe-art of video encryption narrowed down to its joint application with the H.264 standard suite and associated protocols (packaging / streaming) and processes (transcoding / watermarking).

End-to-end security for video distribution: the combination of encryption, watermarking, and video adaptation AbstractAbstract. Content distribution applications such as digital broadcasting, video-on-demand services (VoD), video conferencing, surveillance and telesurgery are confronted with difficulties -besides the inevitable compression and quality challenges -with respect to intellectual property management, authenticity, privacy regulations, access control etc. Meeting such security requirements in an end-to-end video distribution scenario poses significant challenges. If the entire content is encrypted at the content creation side, the space for signal processing operations is very limited. Decryption, followed by video processing and re-encryption is also to be avoided as it is far from efficient, complicates key management and could expose the video to possible attacks. Additionally, also when the content is delivered and decrypted, the protection is gone. Watermarking can complement encryption in these scenarios by embedding a message within the content itself containing for example ownership information, unique buyer codes or content descriptions. Ideally, securing the video distribution should therefore be possible throughout the distribution chain in a flexible way allowing the encryption, watermarking and encoding/transcoding operations to commute. This paper introduces the reader to the relevant techniques that are needed to implement such an end-to-end commutative security system for video distribution, and presents a practical solution for encryption and watermarking compliant with H.264/AVC and the upcoming HEVC (High 1 Efficiency Video Coding) video coding standards. To minimize the overhead and visual impact, a practical trade-off between the security of the encryption routine, robust watermarking and transcoding possibilities is investigated. We demonstrate that our combined commutative protection system effectively scrambles video streams, achieving SSIM (Structural Similarity Index) values below 0.2 across a range of practical bit rates, while allowing robust watermarking and transcoding.

“…To maintain the independency of each encrypted NAL unit, a unique Initialization Vector (IV) is determined for each NAL unit. Going against this norm, the video encryption architecture discussed in [14] derives the IV from a previously encrypted NAL unit. In this way, a dependency is created between encrypted NAL units.…”

Abstract-The wide range of media and consumer devices, currently available, has raised new security requirements for multimedia systems and their applications. Despite the wide variety of work conducted on the access control, Digital Rights Management (DRM) and adaptation areas to date, there is a lack of initiatives addressing them together. This article analyzes existing initiatives and proposes new technologies for the governed adaptations of secured content in heterogeneous environments. These technologies are integrated in an architecture for the secure management of multimedia contents, which covers the complete digital content value chain, from creation to consumption by end users. Video Surveillance is the application scenario chosen for further illustrating the use of the proposed architecture. Two use cases are discussed in order to address governance, protection and adaptation requirements in surveillance applications.
