Abstract

Privacy concerns may be caused after uploading images into image hosting platforms. For traditional image encryption, images with rich content and meaning are transformed into noise-like encrypted images without any visual information, which can protect privacy from infringement but at the expense of visual usability. Recently, thumbnail-preserving encryption (TPE) was proposed to balance privacy and usability by preserving the thumbnail unchanged after encrypting. On the other hand, a large number of pseudo-random functions with high computational complexity are utilized in the existing TPE schemes, which makes the encryption and decryption time too long. Motivated by this, we deeply analyze the characteristics of TPE and propose a scheme to organically combine TPE with chaotic systems, which reduces the encryption and decryption time exponentially besides ensuring security. The experiments show that the time cost is reduced dozens of times as well as relatively stable compared with the existing schemes. Meanwhile, encrypted images have high visual quality and can resist some commonly used attacks including differential attack and face detection and the balance between privacy and visual usability is achieved.

  • Zhang [203] developed a novel two-dimensional chaotic system by combining logistic and sine functions and employed it in a thumbnail-preserving encryption technique that produced highly secure ciphertext images even under known-plaintext attacks, data-loss attacks, and noise attacks.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
