Abstract
Sharing images online has become extremely easy and popular due to the ever-increasing adoption of mobile devices and online social networks (OSNs). The privacy issues arising from image sharing over OSNs have received significant attention in recent years. In this article, we consider the problem of designing a secure, robust, high-fidelity, storage-efficient image-sharing scheme over Facebook, a representative OSN that is widely accessed. To accomplish this goal, we first conduct an in-depth investigation on the manipulations that Facebook performs to the uploaded images. Assisted by such knowledge, we propose a DCT-domain image encryption/decryption framework that is robust against these lossy operations. As verified theoretically and experimentally, superior performance in terms of data privacy, quality of the reconstructed images, and storage cost can be achieved.
