Abstract
Nowadays, the use of real time video communication is growing with a rapid pace. For example, Search and Rescue (SAR) applications like earthquake rescue, avalanche victims, wildfire monitoring in highway and surveillance are some of the applications of real time video communication. Most of these video communications require secure transmission of signals. For real time video communication, the processing time is considered as the most important metric to be optimized. Thus, finding a simple and time efficient encryption technique for securing the transmitted data becomes mandatory. The motive behind this work is to design a system that can process the video signal in real time providing a secure communication. In this paper, we present an efficient encryption technique which has low computation complexity. The proposed technique is based on Context-Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC) where the bin-string of Intra-Prediction Mode, Motion Vector Difference (MVD) and residue coefficients are encrypted with the random behavior of chaotic systems. The random bit streams used for encryption are generated with chaotic systems using Logistic map. The experimental results show that the proposed technique is very effective for real-time applications and robust against different types of attacks.
