Image compression and encryption has been a great area of interest since images are being used as one of the most valuable information source in many areas like medical application, military application, space science application and many more. There are three types of image namely binary image, grayscale image and colour image. Binary image has only two intensity levels black and white, whereas grayscale images have 256 intensity level and colour images have various colour map each of which have 256 intensity levels. For the being here the area of interest is grayscale image.
Now the first question that arises is what is image compression and encryption and why it is needed? Image compression means reducing the size of an image without or with a certain loss of data. This is needed because for an image which need to be transmitted over a channel will consume a large bandwidth according to its size. So if the size can be reduced the bandwidth needed for the transmission of the compressed image will be less. Encryption on the other hand is needed to provide security to the information. This is a method or a process for protecting information from undesirable attacks by converting it into a form non recognizable by its attackers. Data encryption mainly is the scrambling of the content of data, such as text, image, audio, video and so forth to make the data unreadable, invisible or incomprehensible during transmission. The goal is to protect the content of the data against the attackers. The reverse of data encryption is data decryption, which recovers the original data.

...m. In symmetric key there is a single key that is used in both ends to encrypt and decrypt a data. But in case of asymmetric key there are two keys that are used in the algorithm namely public key and private key.
Here in case of image encryption symmetric key algorithm has been used.
1.3.2 IMAGE ENCRYPTION USING SCAN PATTERNS
The proposed image encryption method is actually based on the rearrangement of the pixels of an image. The rearrangement is achieved by the scan patterns and it is also used as the key for both encryption and decryption. At first the image has been divided into eight bit planes and in each bit plane different scan patterns has been used to rearrange the pixel in order to encrypt it.
So for each bit plane there are a separate key to decrypt it. A detail discussion about scan patterns and scan paths has been presented in the next chapter.
Encryption is a strategy for changing data on a computer in a manner that it gets to be distinctly incomprehensible regardless of the possibility that somebody can access a PC with individual information on it.
What is encryption? Encryption is a technological technique that protects and secures the transfer of plain text information between two sources through the use of the internet. This is done by rearranging the text using a mathematical algorithm that renovates the message into an indecipherable form, which can only be unlocked and translated with a use of a key. The strength of the encryption key is measured by its length, which is determined by the number of bits and by the type of encryption program.
When we take a closer look at the picture, we are able to depict symbols that will means something to us, it is called the paradigmatic analysis. You are able to comprehend a
In this case, the units containing the information underlying our use of a word, are called logogens and encompass the verbal system. Whereas, imagens are the units in the dual-coding theory containing information that produces the mental image which make up the non-verbal system. Thus, as I think of the lyrics being sung by the artist, for example the word fireside, it may invoke a mental image of firewood or even an image of my family and I watching christmas movies by the fire. This would represent an example of a mental image that was produced by logogens, in which a similar situation can produce a mental image but instead, imagens are
A camera lens focuses patterns of light onto film which records the image exactly. If the lens is out of focus or partially covered, a b lurry or obscured picture will result. The film is a recording device, it does not interpret and select what it portrays. Images from a camera are objective in a very literal sense. Seeing, however, is not such a seamless process. Our eyes work similarly to a camera in that they have a lens which focuses a real image on our retina, a light sensitive sheet of cells. This retinal image is a portrayal of the world as it truly is. The image which we see, however, is not this image. By considering a normal vis ual property as well as an uncommon ocular disorder the process of formulating our visual sense will be investigated. There is a difference between the picture recorded on film and that recorded by our brains. For purposes of this paper, the term "retina l image" is used as an analogy to a photographic image (one without interpretation by the brain). The phrase "brain image" refers to the retinal image post-brain interpretation. The brain image is the image which would be described by the person, the imag e which is thought of as seeing.
There are two keys to successful imaging - these are vividness and controllability and they are acquired through practice. As our notes states, the greater the number of senses that can be used during imagery-
This type of encryption key administration is to create an extra key for decoding the data and is kept secure in escrow by an authorised 3rd party. We can also call this as a backup key or split-key. This kind of encryption method is been using to recover the data if a user forgot the password.
Is it like a language or not? How do visual images work? It is important to study and understand visual images. That’s exactly what semiology analysis consists of. It's a set of concepts which produce accounts of the way the meanings of images are produced through the images.
Such a blocking signature can served as an evidence of JPEG compression [2], and some tampering operations [3]. Another important property is the quantization artifacts in the DCT frequency domain. During JPEG compression, each DCT frequency component in the 8 × 8 block is quantized by a quantization step. It will lead to a specific shape of the corresponding DCT histogram.
Data Encryption is from the cryptography science, which includes coding and decoding of message to protect the safety. Development computer technology makes the encryption even more complicated. The ability for people to break codes is increasing, so are the ability to guard the codes. Many encryptions are available now. They were developed by some hi-tech company and sold, or you can choose some free service. Actually, when you are using the web browsers, emails, or even the basic system, your information has been automatically encrypted.
Computer science is a vast field that includes nearly everything relating to computers. Everyday there is information transmitted all over the Internet. Pictures are uploaded, transactions are made on thousands of online retail websites, and banking transactions take place everyday on the Internet. All of these transactions have created a need for secure communications. People wish to keep things like banking, medical, and political information from the eyes of unwelcome parties. This has created a need for cryptography. Cryptography is the science or study of the techniques of secret writing, especially code and cipher systems, and is used by everyone from the average citizen to the government and military.
Thus giving priority to the important vectors higher compression can be achieved at better quality. The algorithm is also useful for embedded vector quantization coding of wavelet coefficients. INTRODUCTION lmage compression reduces the data for image representation. lmage compression techniques are divided into two main categories Transform techniques and nontransform techniquesh transform techniques compression is achieved by encoding the transformed coefficients. Compression based on wavelet transform decomposes the image in four subbands.
Encryption converts a message in such as way that its contents are hidden from unauthorized readers. It is intended to keep messages and information as a secret. Plaintext, also known as clear text, is the plain or original message, which is has not yet been encrypted. Once the message is encrypted it is then called a cipher text. This process is obviously referred as encryption. The exact opposite process is called decryption. Encryption is the most successful way to attain data security. To read an encrypted file, you must have access to a secret key or password that enables you to decrypt it. Data encryption is a means of scrambling the data so that is can only be read by the person holding the key, a password of some sort. Without the key, the cipher cannot be broken and the data remains secure. Using the key, the cipher is decrypted and the data is returned to its original value or state. Each time one desires to encrypt data, a key from the 72,000,000,000,000,000 possible key variations, is randomly produced, and used to encrypt the data. The same key must be made known to the receiver if they ar...
The protection of data being transferred between ATMs and the bank, and the use of cell phones is the most common everyday encounter with encryption. To encrypt and decrypt information a cipher is used. In a cipher there is a set of well-defined steps that can be followed to encrypt and decrypt messages. The use of a cipher relies greatly on the use of an encryption key. The key may contain any auxiliary information added to the cipher to produce certain
