Abstract

Nowadays, there is an increasing tendency to upload images to online platforms acting as information carriers for various applications. Unfortunately, the unauthorized utilization of such images is a serious concern that has significantly impacted security and privacy. Although digital images are widely available, the storage of these images requires a large amount of data. This study aims to address these issues by developing an improved encryption–compression-based algorithm for securing digital images that reduces unnecessary hardware storage space, transmission time and bandwidth demand. First, the image is encrypted using chaotic encryption. Then the encrypted image is compressed using wavelet-based compression in order to make efficient use of resources without any information about the encryption key. On the other side, the image is decompressed and decrypted by the receiver. The security assessment of the proposed algorithm is performed in different ways, such as differential and statistical, key sensitivity, and execution time analysis. The experimental analysis proves the security of the method against various possible attacks. Furthermore, the extensive evaluations on a real dataset demonstrate that the proposed solution is secure and has a low encryption overhead compared to similar methods.
