Abstract

See full text

In a method and a device for partial encryption and progressive transmission of images, a first section of the image file is compressed at reduced quality without decryption, and a second section of the image file is encrypted. Users having access to appropriate decryption keywords can decrypt this second section. The first section together with the decrypted second section can then be viewed as a full quality image. The storage space required for storing the first and section together is essentially the same as the storage space required for storing the unencrypted full quality image. By using the method and device as described herein storage and bandwidth requirements for partially encrypted images is reduced. Furthermore, object based composition and processing of encrypted objects are facilitated, and ROIs can be encrypted. Also, the shape of a ROI can be encrypted and the original object can be decrypted and restored in the compressed domain.
