Remote Sensing Image Encryption and Error Detection using Hamming Code

Abstract

Encryption of remote sensing images is always required as this type of images carry sensitive data. It is the primary criteria to hide it in case of a country’s border image or video. Nowadays development in networking improves communication systems. Unfortunately, intruders are misusing this advantage and try to intrude into the network whose security is weak. During secure communication of remote sensing images, encryption is done before sending to a long distance. Here, we have discussed a new method of remote sensing image encoding with the help of hamming code. During analyzation, we have showed that it is not easy to decode the main image from encrypted data in the most popular mode of attacking- known plaintext attack. Moreover, we have also calculated that this system can detect the error in an effective way. The presented method is also applicable for effective encryption of more than one remote sensing images.

Comparative study on satellite based image encryption methods: a survey

“…In the asymmetric approach, two keys: the public key for encryption and private key for decryption are used [16]. Many encryption algorithms such as AES [17]- [19], DES [20], 3-DES [21], Combination of AES, DES, 3-DES algorithm [22], exclusive-or (XOR) keys [23], homomorphic encryption [24], advanced encryption standard-counter (AES-CTR) [25], encryption using deep learning (DL) [26], error detection using hamming code [27] and chaotic encryption [28]- [37] are used to encrypt satellite images. In some cases, combination of two or more encryption algorithms provides more efficient encryption results.…”
