Compliant Encryption of JPEG2000 Codestreams

This paper presents a compliant encryption method for JPEG 2000 codestreams such that the encryption process does not introduce superfluous JPEG2000 markers in the protected codestream, i.e., the protected codestream preserves the syn-tax of the original codestream. The proposed encryption method works with any standard ciphers, incurs no stor-age overhead, introduces negligible computational cost and maintains all the desirable properties of the original JPEG 2000 codestream such as error resilience and scalability. 1

Multimedia

The nowadays ubiquitous and effortless digital data capture and processing capabilities offered by the majority of devices, lead to an unprecedented penetration of multimedia content in our everyday life. To make the most of this phenomenon, the rapidly increasing volume and usage of digitised content requires constant re-evaluation and adaptation of multimedia methodologies, in order to meet the relentless change of requirements from both the user and system perspectives. Advances in Multimedia provides readers with an overview of the ever-growing field of multimedia by bringing together various research studies and surveys from different subfields that point out such important aspects. Some of the main topics that this book deals with include: multimedia management in peer-to-peer structures & wireless networks, security characteristics in multimedia, semantic gap bridging for multimedia content and novel multimedia applications
