Efficient and Secured Video Encryption Scheme for Lightweight Devices

Technological advancements in the field of multimedia have made access to information effortless. As information is available easily to everyone so it is quite essential to shield secretive data. This paper focuses on encrypting videos using confusion and diffusion at various levels. Chaotic skew tent map and nested piecewise linear chaotic map which are categorized under piecewise linear maps have been used for the processing. Two skew tent maps are cross coupled with each other to generate random values. The binary sequences are generated by comparing the outputs of the cross coupled piecewise linear chaotic maps. The generated binary sequence is used for bit level diffusion. Further, pixels are shuffled to provide higher level of encryption. The ciphered video is of the same size as that of plain video. The proposed scheme is of low complexity and provides high level encryption. The security analysis of the technique has been carried out and better results have been found regarding the statistical and differential attacks. The code development has been done in MATLAB and the scheme is applicable in areas like Video Encryption, Steganography and Digital Watermarking on various lightweight devices.
