A novel asymmetric scheme for double image encryption, compression and watermarking based on QR decomposition in the Fresnel domain has been presented. The QR decomposition provides a permutation matrix as a ciphertext and the product of orthogonal and triangular matrix as a key. The ciphertext obtained through this process is a sparse matrix that is compressed by the CSR method to give compressed encrypted data, which, when combined with a host image, gives a watermarked image. Thus, a cryptosystem that involves compression and watermarking is proposed. The proposed scheme is validated for grayscale images. To check the efficacy of the proposed scheme, histograms, statistical parameters, and key sensitivity are analyzed. The scheme is also tested against various attacks. Numerical simulations are performed to validate the security of the scheme.
IJAIP fosters the exchange and dissemination of applications and case studies in the area of advanced intelligence paradigms among education and research professionals. The thrust of the journal is to publish papers dealing with the design, development, testing, implementation and management of advanced intelligent systems, and to provide guidelines in the development/management of these systems. IJAIP publishes archival articles and assessments of current trends, providing a medium for exchanging scientific research and technological achievements accomplished by the international community.
In this paper, an asymmetric audio and image encryption mechanism using QR decomposition and random modulus decomposition (RD) in the Fresnel domain is proposed. The audio file is recorded as a vector and converted to a two-dimensional array to act as an image or a sound map. This sound map is encrypted using the image encryption algorithm proposed in this paper. The proposed cryptosystem is validated for both audios and grayscale images. Fresnel parameters and the two private keys obtained from QR decomposition and random modulus decomposition (RD) form the key space. Computer-based reproductions have been carried out to prove the validity and authenticity of the scheme. Simulation results authenticate that the scheme is robust and efficient against various attacks and is sensitive to input parameters.
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.
