The security of digital image has become increasingly important with the development of the computing performance and internet. Therefore, the encryption algorithms exploiting chaos signal have recently attracted considerable attentions as a new method of image-encryption techniques. In this Paper, it is demonstrated that two different chaotic systems are synchronized by the methods of noise-induced synchronization. Based on this synchronization method, an image-encryption system is implemented and an image of Seok-Ga-Tap is encrypted as a verification of the performance of our system. The method suggested in this paper in which the noise is used as the key of decryption is superior to the existing methods in the aspect of the degree of encryption. In this paper, we Propose that the method is a new effective encryption algorithm as well as an easily applicable one.

This paper presents a solution to error avalanche of deciphering where radio noise brings random bit errors in encrypted image data under ubiquitous environment. The image capturing module is to be made comprising data compression and encryption features to reduce data traffic volume and to protect privacy. Block cipher algorithms may experience error avalanche: multiple pixel defects due to single bit error in an encrypted message. The new fault tolerant scheme addresses error avalanche effect exploiting a three-dimensional data shuffling process, which disperses error bits on many frames resulting in sparsely isolated errors. Averaging or majority voting with neighboring pixels can tolerate prominent pixel defects without increase in data volume due to error correction. This scheme has 33% lower data traffic load with respect to the conventional Hamming code based approach.

Digital Forensics is gaining popularity in adjudication of criminal cases as use of electronic gadgets in committing crime has risen. Traditional approach to collecting digital evidence falls short when the disk is encrypted. Encryption keys are often stored in RAM when computer is running. An approach to acquire forensic data from RAM when the computer is shut down is proposed. The approach requires that the investigator immediately cools the RAM and transplant it into a host computer provisioned with a tool developed based on cold boot concept to acquire the RAM image. Observation of data obtained from the acquired image compared to the data loaded into memory shows the RAM chips exhibit some level of remanence which allows their content to persist after shutdown which is contrary to accepted knowledge that RAM loses its content immediately there is power cut. Results from experimental setups conducted with three different RAM chips labeled System A, B and C showed at a reduced temperature of -25C, the content suffered decay of 2.125% in 240 seconds, 0.975% in 120 seconds and 1.225% in 300 seconds respectively. Whereas at operating temperature of 25℃, there was decay of 82.33% in 60 seconds, 80.31% in 60 seconds and 95.27% in 120 seconds respectively. The content of RAM suffered significant decay within two minutes without power supply at operating temperature while at a reduced temperature less than 5% decay was observed. The findings show data can be recovered for forensic evidence even if the culprit shuts down the computer.

We present a method to improve encryption level by use of a rotational term in the double random-phase-mask(RPM) encryption system. Encrypted optical images are recorded in a photorefractive LiNbO$_3$:Fe crystal and reconstructed by using a phase conjugated reading beam. The encryption level for the analog image is analyzed by use of visibility function.

In this paper, we proposed an optical encryption and decryption technique that uses a nail bed pattern as a key-code. Since the technique uses a nail bed pattern that is a biometric signal of an encryptor, the technique is robust about a fake key or illegal use of a key. In addition to this, the encrypted image contains the biometric information of the encryptor. This makes the proposed technique also be applied to authentication.

In this paper, we propose a video encryption method using pseudo-random numbers based on MLCA(Maximal length Cellular Automata). Firstly, we generate a basis image which is composed with pseudo-random numbers, using MLCA. Futhermore, The original video is encrypted by computing XOR operation between the basis image and each frame of original video. The video encryption is conducted in accordance with one or two rules, and is evaluated.

DES is an improvement of the algorithm Lucifer developed by IBM in the 1977. IBM, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the National Bureau of Standards (NBS now National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST) developed the DES algorithm. The DES has been extensively studied since its publication and is the most widely used symmetric algorithm in the world. But nowadays, Triple DES (TDES) is more widely used than DES especially in the application in case high level of data security is required. Even though TDES can be implemented based on standard algorithm, very high speed TDES codec performance is required to process when encrypted high resolution satellite image data is down-linked at high speed. In this paper, Intel SSE2 (Streaming SIMD (Single-Instruction Multiple-Data) Extensions 2 of Intel) is applied to TDES Decryption algorithm and proved its effectiveness in the processing time reduction by comparing the time consumed for two cases; original TDES Decryption and TDES Decryption with SSE2

With the rapid growth of digital communication and the internet, the importance of conducting research on data encryption methods is increasing. Some of the pertinent researches that have been conducted so far introduced data encryption methods using chaos systems, and numerous researches are currently being conducted on such methods. The signals produced by the chaos systems are called "determined noise," and if this is applied to data encryption, very effective results can be obtained. Using the Henon map, the relationship between the non-linearity of the chaos system and the strength of encryption was analyzed, and a linear-structure chaos system that uses non-linearity as a variable for encryption strength was constructed. Using the constructed chaos system, an image was encrypted and decoded, and the correlation coefficient of the linear-structure chaos system's performance was calculated and then analyzed.

Nowadays, with the development of signal processing technique, the protection to the integrity and authenticity of images has become a topic of great concern. A blind image authentication technology with high tamper detection accuracy for different common attacks is urgently needed. In this paper, an improved fragile watermarking method based on local binary pattern (LBP) is presented for blind tamper location in images. In this method, a binary watermark is generated by LBP operator which is often utilized in face identification and texture analysis. In order to guarantee the safety of the proposed algorithm, Arnold transform and logistic map are used to scramble the authentication watermark. Then, the least significant bits (LSBs) of original pixels are substituted by the encrypted watermark. Since the authentication data is constructed from the image itself, no original image is needed in tamper detection. The LBP map of watermarked image is compared to the extracted authentication data to determine whether it is tampered or not. In comparison with other state-of-the-art schemes, various experiments prove that the proposed algorithm achieves better performance in forgery detection and location for baleful attacks.

In this paper, we propose a digital image encryption method using adaptive interleaving and multiple random shuffling table to improve the existing encryption methods which use a fixed random shuffling table. In order to withstand the plaintext attack, at first, we propose a interleaving method that is adaptive to the local feature of image. Secondly, using the proposed interleaving only shuffling method and multiple shuffling method that is combined interleaving with existing random shuffling method, we encrypted image by shuffled the DPCM processed $8^*8$ blocks. Experimental results show that, the proposed algorithm is very robust to plaintext attack and there is no overhead bit.
