Abstract
H.264/AVC is the most advanced standard for video compression while the confidentiality of the content encoded by H.264/AVC is not well implemented in the coding standard. In this paper, we proposed a selective encryption scheme which makes effective use of the data structure of NAL in H.264/AVC. We used AES encryption algorithm to encrypt important I frames data, thus it can keep the advantage of selective encryption algorithm while provide strong enough confidentiality. The experiments demonstrated that our scheme can meet the requirements of real-time processing and effective confidentiality.
