• Authors: Mare Hirose, Shoko Imaizumi, Hitoshi Kiya,
• Abstract summary: This paper aims to evaluate the security of a bitstream-level JPEG encryption method using restart (RST) markers. The security of the method was evaluated only with respect to the key space analysis for brute-force attacks. In experiments, the method is confirmed to be robust against ciphertext-only attacks if parameters used for image encryption are carefully chosen.

• Abstract: This paper aims to evaluate the security of a bitstream-level JPEG encryption method using restart (RST) markers, where encrypted image can keep the JPEG file format with the same file size as non-encrypted image. Data encrypted using this method can be decoded without altering header information by employing a standard JPEG decoder. Moreover, the use of RST markers enables the definition of extended blocks divided by the markers, so spatially partial encryption and block-permutation-based encryption can be carried out. However, the security of the method was evaluated only with respect to the key space analysis for brute-force attacks and other limited attacks. Accordingly, in this paper, we evaluated the security of the method with respect to robustness against ciphertext-only attacks including state-of-the-art attacks. In experiments, the method is compared with conventional encryption methods, and it is confirmed to be robust against ciphertext-only attacks if parameters used for image encryption are carefully chosen.

  Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) enables computations on encrypted data, preserving confidentiality without the need for decryption. Traditional FHE methods often encrypt images by monolithic data blocks, instead of pixels. We propose and implement a pixel-level homomorphic encryption approach, iCHEETAH, based on the CKKS scheme.

  We present a novel cryptographic system that integrates Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) with classical encryption techniques. Our approach leverages the E91 QKD protocol to generate a shared secret key between communicating parties. This key is then hashed using the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) to provide a fixedlength, high-entropy key.

  We propose an attack method to block scrambled face images, particularly Encryption-then-Compression (EtC) applied images. Instead of reconstructing identical images as plain ones from encrypted images, we focus on recovering styles that can reveal identifiable information from the encrypted images. While state-of-the-art attack methods cannot recover any perceptual information from EtC images, the proposed method discloses personally identifiable information such as hair color, skin color, eyeglasses, gender, etc.
