Real-time selective encryption of MJPEG video streams
|
Encrypted video stream
|
|
Motion-only encrypted video stream
|
Principle
The principle is similar to that developed for JPEG images in
[1]. For each frame, the requirements are:
[Visual acceptance] Part of information may be visible but the encrypted image should look noisy.
[Selective encryption] Encryption occurs after compression and leaves parts of the bitstream unencrypted.
[Constant bit rate] Encryption should preserve the size of the bitstream.
[Bitstream compliance] The encryption step should produce a compliant bitstream according to the chosen format definition.

Software description
Please contact Mr
Van Droogenbroeck if you are interested in the software. We can provide both a program (for Windows or Linux) and the full source code. Here are the specifications of the software:
-
Programming language: standard C (compiled with gcc).
-
Real time encryption and decryption.
-
External dependencies:
-
Intel® Integrated Performance Primitive
-
libcurl
-
FFMPEG
-
libSDL
-
Possibility to encrypt only parts of the image or Region of Interests (ROIs). See [2] for a full description. As an alternative, the program can encode only the parts in motion or the parts that are static.
-
Cascading of encryption (over-encryption) is possible and reversible.
