In this paper, we propose an adaptive scalable encryption scheme for the layered architecture of SVC video. The proposed method determines an appropriate set of encryption algorithms to be applied for the layers of SVC by considering the importance and priority relationship among the SVC video layers. Unlike the conventional encryption method based on a fixed encryption algorithm for the whole video layers, the proposed method applies differentiated encryption algorithms with different encryption strength the importance of the video layers. Thereupon, higher security could be maintained for the lower video layer including more important data, while lower encryption strength could be applied for the higher video layer with relatively less important data. The effectiveness of the proposed adaptive scalable encryption method is proved by extensive simulations.

In this paper, we propose an accumulation encoding scheme based on double random phase encryption (DRPE) for multiple-image transmission. The proposed scheme can be used for a low-complexity DRPE system due to the simple structure of the accumulation encoder and decoder. For accumulation encoding of multiple images, all of the previously encrypted data are added, and hence the accumulation encoding can improve the security of the DRPE-encrypted data. We present a scheme for encryption and decryption for DRPE-based accumulation encoding, and a method for accumulation encoding and decoding. Finally, simulation results verify that the DRPE-based accumulation encoding scheme for multiple images is powerful in terms of data security.

A fast image encryption system based on substitution and diffusion was proposed, which includes one covering process, one substitution process and two diffusion processes. At first, Chen's chaotic system together with an external 256-bit long secret key was used to generate the key streams for image encryption, in which the initial values of Chen's chaotic system were regarded as the public key. Then the plain image was masked by the covering process. After that the resulting image was substituted with the disturbed S-Box of AES. Finally, the substituted image was diffused twice with the add-modulo operations as the core to obtain the cipher image. Simulation analysis and comparison results with AES and some existing image cryptosystems show that the proposed image cryptosystem possesses the merits of fast encryption/decryption speed, good statistical characteristics, strong sensitivity and etc., and can be used as a candidate system of network security communication.

In this paper, a new 2-step quadrature phase-shifting digital holographic optical encryption method using orthogonal polarization is proposed and tolerance errors for this method are analyzed. Unlike the conventional technique using a PZT mirror, the proposed optical setup comprises two input and output polarizers, and one ${\lambda}$/4-plate retarder. This method makes it easier to get a phase shift of ${\pi}$/2 without using a mechanically driven PZT device for phase-shifting and it simplifies the 2-step phase-shifting Mach-Zehnder interferometer setup for optical encryption. The decryption performance and tolerance error analysis for the proposed method are presented. Computer experiments show that the proposed method is an alternate candidate for 2-step quadrature phase-shifting digital holographic optical encryption applications.

A method for joint-transform correlator (JTC) multiple-image encryption based on a quick-response (QR) code key is proposed. The QR codes converted from different texts are used as key masks to encrypt and decrypt multiple images. Not only can Chinese text and English text be used as key text, but also symbols can be used. With this method, users have no need to transmit the whole key mask; they only need to transmit the text that is used to generate the key. The correlation coefficient is introduced to evaluate the decryption performance of our proposed cryptosystem, and we explore the sensitivity of the key mask and the capability for multiple-image encryption. Robustness analysis is also conducted in this paper. Computer simulations and experimental results verify the correctness of this method.

In this paper an efficient image encryption scheme based on cyclic rotations and multiple blockwise diffusions with two chaotic maps is proposed. A Sin map is used to generate round keys for the encryption/decryption process. A Pomeau-Manneville map is used to generate chaotic values for permutation, pixel value rotation and diffusion operations. The encryption scheme is composed of three stages: permutation, pixel value rotation and diffusion. The permutation stage performs four operations on the image: row shuffling, column shuffling, cyclic rotation of all the rows and cyclic rotation of all the columns. This stage reduces the correlation significantly among neighboring pixels. The second stage performs circular rotation of pixel values twice by scanning the image horizontally and vertically. The amount of rotation is based on $M{\times}N$ chaotic values. The last stage performs the diffusion four times by scanning the image in four different ways: block of $8{\times}8$ pixels, block of $16{\times}16$ pixels, principal diagonally, and secondary diagonally. Each of the above four diffusions performs the diffusion in two directions (forwards and backwards) with two previously diffused pixels and two chaotic values. This stage makes the scheme resistant to differential attacks. The security and performance of the proposed method is analyzed systematically by using the key space, entropy, statistical, differential and performance analysis. The experimental results confirm that the proposed method is computationally efficient with high security.

A LEA (Lightweight Encryption Algorithm) crypto-processor was designed, which supports three master key lengths of 128/ 192/256-bit, ECB and CTR modes of operation. To achieve high throughput rate, the round transformation block was designed with 128 bits datapath and a pipelined structure of 16 stages. Encryption/decryption is carried out through 12/14/16 pipelined stages according to the master key length, and each pipelined stage performs round transformation twice. The key scheduler block was optimized to share hardware resources that are required for encryption, decryption, and three master key lengths. The round keys generated by key scheduler are stored in 32 round key registers, and are repeatedly used in round transformation until master key is updated. The pipelined LEA processor was verified by FPGA implementation, and the estimated performance is about 8.3 Gbps at the maximum clock frequency of 130 MHz.

This paper describes an efficient hardware implementation of lightweight encryption algorithm LEA-128/192/256 which supports for three master key lengths of 128/192/256-bit. To achieve area-efficient and low-power implementation of LEA crypto- processor, the key scheduler block is optimized to share hardware resources for encryption/decryption key scheduling of three master key lengths. In addition, a parallel register structure and novel operating scheme for key scheduler is devised to reduce clock cycles required for key scheduling, which results in an increase of encryption/decryption speed by 20~30%. The designed LEA crypto-processor has been verified by FPGA implementation. The estimated performances according to master key lengths of 128/192/256-bit are 181/162/109 Mbps, respectively, at 113 MHz clock frequency.

CCSDS Standard is widely used in the international space telecommunication area. But standard recommendation of CCSDS is not restrictive, so, we can select an appropriate encryption protocol among the layer. For synchronization, encryption sync is attached in the beginning of the encrypted data. In the exceptional environmental condition, although the receiver can not decrypt the normal data, the sender have no conception of that situation. In this paper, we propose a two-stage SES alarmed link encryption synchronization method having optimized threshold value necessary to decide whether the receiver has a correct decryption or not. first, through the experiment of mutual relations between error rate and encryption synchronization detection error, we can predict worst communication environment for the selected encryption synchronization pattern. second, through the experiment for finding what number of consecutive frame synchronization error is an appropriate reference value and analysis of that experiment, we suggest an optimized threshold value for resynchronization request. lastly, through the output images we can predict the probability error that should be guaranteed by channel coder.

In this paper, the decryption function of CCSDS telecommand of CTU EQM for the security of communications satellite was verified. In order to intensify the security level of DES CFB decryption algorithm applied to CTU EM, 3DES CFB decryption algorithm using three keys is implemented in the CTU EQM. As the decryption keys increased due to the 3DES algorithm, the keys and IV are stored in PROM memory, and used for the telecommand decryption by taking the keys and IVs corresponding to the selected key and IV indexes from the memory. The operation of the 3DES CFB is validated through the timing simulation of 3DES CFB algorithm, and then the 3DES CFB core implemented on the A54SX32 FPGA. The test environment for the telecommand decryption verification of the CTU EQM was built up. Through sending and decrypting the encrypted command, monitoring the opcodes, and confirming LED on/off by executing the opcodes, the 3DES CFB telecommand decryption function of the CTU EQM is verified.
