Achieve real-time encryption and video data transcoding, current video encryption methods usually integrate encryption algorithm with video compression course. This paper is devoted to discussing the video encryption technology, by encrypting to avoid unauthorized person getting video data. This paper studied the H.264 entropy coding and proposed of CAVLC video encryption scheme which is combined with the process of entropy coding of H.264 CAVLC encryption scheme. Three encryption levels are proposed. In addition, a scrambling method is also proposed which makes the encrypted frames more robust in anti crack. This method showed more robust video data encryption function and compressive rate.

Recently, H.264 SE(scalable extension) has become a standard of next generation multimedia service which is one source, multi-user service in the telecommunication environment of different kinds of networks and terminal equipments. But existing DRM schemes for multimedia service are not fit for H.264 SE system. Because the amount of transmitted multimedia data is changed considering network environment and terminal equipments' performance by the system, but in the existing DRM schemes, the amount of handled multimedia data are not variable according to network environment and terminal equipments' performance. In this paper, an information security scheme combined video watermarking and encryption is presented for H.264 SE. Amount of watermarks and embedding positions are calculated by the frame number of enhancement layers which are created according to the state of networks and terminal equipments. In order to minimize delayed time by video watermarking and encryption, the video data are watermarked and encrypted in the H.264 SE compression process. In the experimental results, we confirmed that proposed scheme is robust against video compression, general signal processing and geometric processing.

As a growing number of individuals are exposed to surveillance cameras, the need to prevent captured videos from being used inappropriately has increased. Privacy-related information can be protected through video encryption during transmission or storage, and several algorithms have been proposed for such purposes. However, the simple way of evaluating the security by counting the number of brute-force trials is not proper for measuring the security of video encryption algorithms, considering that attackers can devise specially crafted attacks for specific purposes by exploiting the characteristics of the target video codec. In this paper, we introduce a new attack for recovering contour information from encrypted H.264 video. The attack can thus be used to extract face outlines for the purpose of personal identification. We analyze the security of previous video encryption schemes against the proposed attack and show that the security of these schemes is lower than expected in terms of privacy protection. To enhance security, an advanced block shuffling method is proposed, an analysis of which shows that it is more secure than the previous method and can be an improvement against the proposed attack.

There are so many CCTV in our streets, buildings and public places. Nevertheless, security methods for CCTV are rarely. This paper describes a study on developing a media crypto algorithm for anti-hacking into CCTV. H.264 codec is used to compress the video stream in CCTV systems. HIGHT algorithm provided by KISA is adopted as a crypto algorithm in our development. Other crypto methods except HIGHT could be selected by company's security police. Only some bytes in VCL(Video Coding Layer) of H.264 are encrypted to improve the performance of limited platforms, such as CCTV, WebCam, smartphone. Very fast and light crypto algorithm was developed by our researches.

The advance of communication and networking technology enables high bandwidth multimedia data transmission. The development of high performance compression technology such as H.264 also encourages high quality video and audio data transmission. The trend requires efficient protection system for digital media rights. We propose an efficient digital media protection system using elliptic curve cryptography. Only key parameters are encrypted to reduce the burden of complex encryption and decryption in the proposed system, and the digital media are not played back or the quality is degraded if the encrypted information is missing. We need a playback system with an ECC processor to implement the proposed system. We implement an H.264 decoding system with a configurable ECC processor to verify the proposed protection system We verify that the H.264 movie is not decoded without the decrypted information.

This paper has experimented using News sample video with QCIF ($176{\times}144$) resolution in JM v10.2 code of H.264/AVC-MPEG. The region of interest (ROI) to be encrypted occurred the drift by unnecessarily referring to each frame continuously in accordance with the characteristics of the motion prediction and compensation of the H.264 standard. In order to mitigate the drift, the latest related research method of re-inserting encrypted I-picture into a certain period leads to an increase in the amount of additional computation that becomes the factor increasing the bit-rate overhead of the entire video. Therefore, the reference search range of the block and the frame in the ROI to be encrypted is restricted in the motion prediction and compensation for each frame, and the reference search range in the non-ROI not to be encrypted is not restricted to maintain the normal encoding efficiency. In this way, after encoding the video with restricted reference search range, this article proposes a method of RC4 bit-stream encryption for the ROI such as the face to be able to identify in order to protect personal information in the video. Also, it is compared and analyzed the experimental results after implementing the unencrypted original video, the latest related research method, and the proposed method in the condition of the same environment. In contrast to the latest related research method, the bit-rate overhead of the proposed method is 2.35% higher than that of the original video and 14.93% lower than that of the latest related method, while mitigating temporal drift through the proposed method. These improved results have verified by experiments of this study.

As content serviced for IP set-top boxes is streamed over IP network, the existing hacking tools for IP network can be used to capture the streamed content. Until recently, most of the content serviced on IP set-top boxes has been MPEG-2 TS. However, this content will be gradually moved to WMV, MPEG-4 or H.264 because of the relatively low compression efficiency and overhead of the TS packet. In this paper, we propose a DRM scheme other than WMRM for streamed WMV content. Our approach is to design a DRM scheme independent to the existing WMV streaming system. We also design this scheme in order to provide the feature for controlling the DRM processing time considering device performance. We verified it through the experiment.

This paper presents the design and implementation of Crystals-Kyber, a next-generation postquantum cryptography, as a hardware accelerator on an FPGA using High-Level Synthesis (HLS). We optimized the Crystals-Kyber algorithm using various directives provided by Vitis HLS, configured the AXI interface, and designed a hardware accelerator that can be implemented on an FPGA. Then, we used Vivado tool to design the IP block and implement it on the ZYNQ ZCU106 FPGA. Finally, the video was recorded and H.264 compressed with Python code in the PYNQ framework, and the video encryption and decryption were accelerated using Crystals-Kyber hardware accelerator implemented on the FPGA.
