Abstract

This paper presents a novel scheme for the compression of encrypted images through which we can efficiently compress the encrypted images without compromising either the compression efficiency or the security of the encrypted images. In the encryption phase, content owner encrypts the original image using pseudorandom numbers which are derived from a secret key. Then, the channel provider without the knowledge of secret key can compress the encrypted image. For compression, encrypted image is decomposed into subimages and each of these subimages is compressed independently using quantization and wavelet difference reduction coding technique. Then the compressed data obtained from all the subimages is regarded as the compressed bit stream. At receiver side, a reliable decompression and decryption technique is used to reconstruct the image from compressed bit stream. To evaluate the performance, the proposed technique has passed through a number of test cases such as compression ratio (CR) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). All the analysis and experimental results clearly show that the proposed encryption-then-compression technique is reckon secure and shows good compression performance. To show the efficiency of proposed work it is compared with a well-known scheme on compression of encrypted images and experimental results show better compression performance with improved image quality.
