In modern society, user privacy is emerging as an important issue as closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems increase rapidly in various public and private spaces. If CCTV cameras monitor sensitive areas or personal spaces, they can infringe on personal privacy. Someone's behavior patterns, sensitive information, residence, etc. can be exposed, and if the image data collected from CCTV is not properly protected, there can be a risk of data leakage by hackers or illegal accessors. This paper presents an innovative approach to "machine learning based reversible chaotic masking method for user privacy protection in CCTV environment." The proposed method was developed to protect an individual's identity within CCTV images while maintaining the usefulness of the data for surveillance and analysis purposes. This method utilizes a two-step process for user privacy. First, machine learning models are trained to accurately detect and locate human subjects within the CCTV frame. This model is designed to identify individuals accurately and robustly by leveraging state-of-the-art object detection techniques. When an individual is detected, reversible chaos masking technology is applied. This masking technique uses chaos maps to create complex patterns to hide individual facial features and identifiable characteristics. Above all, the generated mask can be reversibly applied and removed, allowing authorized users to access the original unmasking image.

This paper presents analog secure communication system about safe speech transmission using chaotic signals. We applied various conditions that happen in actuality communication environment modifying chaotic synchronization and chaotic communication schemes and analyzed restoration performance of speech signal to computer simulation. In transmitter, we made the chaotic masking signal which is added voice signal to chaotic signal using PC(Pecora ＆ Carroll) and SFB(self-feedback) control techniques and transmitted encryption signal to noisy communication channel And in order to calculate the degree of restoration performance, we proposed the definition of analog average power of recovered error signals in receiver chaotic system. The simulation results show that feedback control techniques can certify that restoration performance is superior to quantitative data than PC method about masking degree, susceptibility of parameters and channel noise. We experimentally computed the table of relation of parameter fluxion to restoration error rate which is applied the encryption key values to the chaotic secure communication.

In this paper, the chaos-based secure scheme for power line communication is proposed for the first time. A digitalized chaotic generator based Lorenz system is utilized for generating nonlinear dynamic chaotic signal for masking the information signal instead of reported analog chaotic generators. A simple method of encryption and decryption is also given. In order to confirm the feasibility of the proposed scheme, the system is simulated using a simplified encryption/decryption method in Proteus. The gained results from simulation demonstrated that by using the chaos-based security method, the data can be encrypted and easily transmitted through the power line network efficiently.

In this paper, we consider a signal masking structure based on the Lorenz system, which uses a feedback path of the information signal in the transmitter system. The scheme recovers the information signal exactly at the receiver, and can be used with increased amplitude information signal. The scrambling property of the scheme is also investigated by computer simulations, from which the performance is show to be better than that of the conventional method.

In this paper we present an object-based watermarking scheme, which cuts out several featured portions from an image and casts chaotic sequences as a watermark into the extracted object image in the discrete wavelet domain with respect to the models of the human visual system. In such a way we can insert watermark to several objects of an image separately. Advantages of the proposed scheme include that it can protect featured object out of an image selectively as well as entire image and casts watermark sequences according to human visual masking utilizing the time-frequency localization property of the wavelet transform.

본 논문은 카오스 신호를 이용하여 안전한 음성신호의 전송을 위한 아날로그 비화통신 시스템의 성능분석에 관한 연구이다. 기존의 카오스 동기화 및 카오스 변조통신 알고리즘을 개선하여 실제 통신환경에서 발생하는 다양한 조건들을 적용하여 음성신호의 복원능력을 모의실험으로 분석하였다. 일반적인 PC 제어기법과 제안한 피드백 마스킹 기법을 사용하여 송신단에서 음성신호를 카오스 신호로 마스킹하여 변조하고, 통신채널에 잡음신호를 추가하여 전송하였다. 수신단에서는 카오스 응답시스템을 이용하여 음성신호를 복조하고, 복원성능을 계산하기 위하여 아날로그 복원 에러신호의 평균전력을 제안하여 계산하였다. 실험결과 마스킹 정도, 파라미터들의 민감성, 채널잡음 등에 대하여 PC 제어기법보다 피드백 제어기법의 복원성능이 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 로렌쯔 카오스 시스템을 비화통신시스템에 사용할 경우 파라미터들의 조합으로 암호키를 구성해야 하므로 키값들의 선정에 기준이 되는 파라미터 변화율에 대응하는 복원에러율의 관계를 실험 값으로 구하였다.
