This work proposes a different procedure to encrypt images of 256 grey levels and colour, using the symmetric system Advanced Encryption Standard with a variable permutation in the first round, after the x-or operation. Variable permutation means using a different one for each input block of 128 bits. In this vein, an algorithm is constructed that defines a Bijective function between sets Nm = {n in N, 0 <= n < fac(m)} with n >= 2 and Pm = {pi, pi is a permutation of 0, 1, ..., m-1}. This algorithm calculates permutations on 128 positions with 127 known constants. The transcendental numbers are used to select the 127 constants in a pseudo-random way. The proposed encryption quality is evaluated by the following criteria: Correlation; horizontal, vertical and diagonal, Entropy and Discrete Fourier Transform. The latter uses the NIST standard 800-22. Also, a sensitivity analysis was performed in encrypted figures. Furthermore, an additional test is proposed which considers the distribution of 256 shades of the three colours; red, green and blue for colour images. On the other hand, it is important to mention that the images are encrypted without loss of information because many banking companies and some safety area countries do not allow the figures to go through a compression process with information loss. i.e., it is forbidden to use formats such as JPEG.

We propose the client-side AES256 encryption for a cloud SQL DB. A column ciphertext is deterministic or probabilistic. We trust the cloud DBMS for security of its run-time values, e.g., through a moving target defense. The client may send AES key(s) with the query. These serve the on-the-fly decryption of selected ciphertext into plaintext for query evaluation. The DBMS clears the key(s) and the plaintext at the query end at latest. It may deliver ciphertext to decryption enabled clients or plaintext otherwise, e.g., to browsers/navigators. The scheme functionally offers to a cloud DBMS capabilities of a plaintext SQL DBMS. AES processing overhead appears negligible for a modern CPU, e.g., a popular Intel I5. The determin-istic encryption may have no storage overhead. The probabilistic one doubles the DB storage. The scheme seems the first generally practical for an outsourced encrypted SQL DB. An implementation sufficient to practice with appears easy. An existing cloud SQL DBMS with UDF support should do.
Secure communication is a necessity. However, encryption is commonly only applied to the upper layers of the protocol stack. This exposes network information to eavesdroppers, including the channels type, data rate, protocol, and routing information. This may be solved by encrypting the physical layer, thereby securing all subsequent layers. In order for this method to be practical, the encryption must be quick, preserve bandwidth, and must also deal with the issues of noise mitigation and synchronization. In this paper, we present the Vernam Physical Signal Cipher (VPSC): a novel cipher which can encrypt the harmonic composition of any analog waveform. The VPSC accomplished this by applying a modified Vernam cipher to the signals frequency magnitudes and phases. This approach is fast and preserves the signals bandwidth. In the paper, we offer methods for noise mitigation and synchronization, and evaluate the VPSC over a noisy wireless channel with multi-path propagation interference.
Security monitoring via ubiquitous cameras and their more extended in intelligent buildings stand to gain from advances in signal processing and machine learning. While these innovative and ground-breaking applications can be considered as a boon, at the same time they raise significant privacy concerns. In fact, recent GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) legislation has highlighted and become an incentive for privacy-preserving solutions. Typical privacy-preserving video monitoring schemes address these concerns by either anonymizing the sensitive data. However, these approaches suffer from some limitations, since they are usually non-reversible, do not provide multiple levels of decryption and computationally costly. In this paper, we provide a novel privacy-preserving method, which is reversible, supports de-identification at multiple privacy levels, and can efficiently perform data acquisition, encryption and data hiding by combining multi-level encryption with compressive sensing. The effectiveness of the proposed approach in protecting the identity of the users has been validated using the goodness of reconstruction quality and strong anonymization of the faces.
We propose an image encryption scheme based on quasi-resonant Rossby/drift wave triads (related to elliptic surfaces) and Mordell elliptic curves (MECs). By defining a total order on quasi-resonant triads, at a first stage we construct quasi-resonant triads using auxiliary parameters of elliptic surfaces in order to generate pseudo-random numbers. At a second stage, we employ an MEC to construct a dynamic substitution box (S-box) for the plain image. The generated pseudo-random numbers and S-box are used to provide diffusion and confusion, respectively, in the tested image. We test the proposed scheme against well-known attacks by encrypting all gray images taken from the USC-SIPI image database. Our experimental results indicate the high security of the newly developed scheme. Finally, via extensive comparisons we show that the new scheme outperforms other popular schemes.
Increasing incidents of security compromises and privacy leakage have raised serious privacy concerns related to cyberspace. Such privacy concerns have been instrumental in the creation of several regulations and acts to restrict the availability and use of privacy-sensitive data. The secure computation problem, initially and formally introduced as secure two-party computation by Andrew Yao in 1986, has been the focus of intense research in academia because of its fundamental role in building many of the existing privacy-preserving approaches. Most of the existing secure computation solutions rely on garbled-circuits and homomorphic encryption techniques to tackle secure computation issues, including efficiency and security guarantees. However, it is still challenging to adopt these secure computation approaches in emerging compute-intensive and data-intensive applications such as emerging machine learning solutions. Recently proposed functional encryption scheme has shown its promise as an underlying secure computation foundation in recent privacy-preserving machine learning approaches proposed. This paper revisits the secure computation problem using emerging and promising functional encryption techniques and presents a comprehensive study. We first briefly summarize existing conventional secure computation approaches built on garbled-circuits, oblivious transfer, and homomorphic encryption techniques. Then, we elaborate on the unique characteristics and challenges of emerging functional encryption based secure computation approaches and outline several research directions.
