Abstract

With the increasing use of media in communications, both academia and industry pay attention to the content security of digital images. This research presents a Homomorphic cryptosystem-based asymmetric picture encryption technique (Paillier). The algorithm is used for securing images that transmit over public unsecured channels. The Homomorphic property is used in this paper, which is comprised of three steps: key generation, encryption, and decryption. To realize such approach, the encryption cryptosystem must support additional operation over encrypted data. This cryptosystem can be effective in protecting images and supporting the construction of programs that can process encrypted input and produce encrypted output.
