Abstract: | Exchange of data in the form of text and image on internet is in fast progression and it is spawning new compression and encryption algorithms for bandwidth and security respectively. We have proposed a new kind of joint algorithm using discrete fractional transforms for compression–encryption of image. In this algorithm, the discrete fractional Fourier transform which is discrete version of fractional Fourier transform, is used to compress the images with variation of its parameter ‘α’ (order of transform). The compressed image is encrypted using discrete fractional cosine transform to provide security. The advantage of this method is its feasible implementation in practice, superior, robustness, security and sensitivity of keys, which has a good prospect and practicability in information security field. Results of computer simulations are presented to verify the validity of the proposed method such as mean square error (MSE) and peak signal to noise ratio between the original image and decrypted image. Sensitivity for right decryption key is proved with respect to MSE. |
