Blockchain Enabled Emperor Penguin Optimizer Based Encryption Technique for Secure Image Management System

Abstract

In recent years, the electronic sharing of digital images faces a major threat to security, as the existing image transmission infrastructure is mainly based on the trust of third parties. At the same time, the available solutions are placed on the cloud based centralized data center, which is expensive, requires large storage area, and security issues regarding the transmission of data over the network. So, it is needed to develop an image management system which enables sharing and storing of digital images effectively. This paper develops novel multiple share creation schemes with block technology for secure image management (MSCCBT-SIM) systems. The MSCCBT-SIM model allows the user to create consensus with no dependencies on central authorities. It involves an MSC which involves share creation and share encryption using emperor penguin optimizer based ElGamal public key cryptosystem (EPO-EPKC). In addition, the blockchain is used as a distributed data storage mechanism to generate a ledger for permitting access to the user and prevent third party access to the encrypted shares. The application of blockchain technology and MSC techniques helps to achieve decentralization, highly reliable, inexpensive, and secure transmission and storage of digital images. In order to validate the effective performance of the MSCCBT-SIM model, a series of simulations take place and investigated the results interms of different measures. The experimental results ensured the better performance of the MSCCBT-SIM model over the state of art methods.

SSE_CIB: Secure storage and exchange of copyrighted images using blockchain

“…The common utility served by IPFS in these proposals is to store the actual information in the file system and keep the related hash values in the blockchain to sustain the scalability of the network. Apart from hashing techniques, cryptographic strategies are also applied in research works such as in Reference 62. In many of these approaches, the blockchain is chosen to store hash values and user details, to enable a concrete access control mechanism.…”
