Abstract
A non-format compliant JPEG encryption algorithm is proposed which is based on a modification of the RSA encryption system. Firstly, an alternate form of entropy coding is described, which is more suited to the proposed algorithm, instead of the zigzag coding scheme used in JPEG. The algorithm for the encryption and decryption process is then elaborated. A variant of the algorithm, also based on the RSA algorithm is also described, which is faster than the original algorithm, but expands the bit stream slightly. Both the algorithms are shown to be scalable and resistant to 'sketch' attacks. Finally, the encrypted file sizes for both the algorithms are compared with the unencrypted JPEG compressed image file size. The encrypted image is found to be moderately expanded, but which is justified by the high security and most importantly, the scalability of the algorithm.
