• Abstract: In today's digital landscape, high-efficiency video coding (H.265/HEVC) has emerged as the most widely used video coding standard, employing selective encryption schemes to protect the privacy of video content while maintaining efficient compression performance. However, existing coefficient scrambling methods impose a significant computational load, leading to increased bit rate overhead due to encryption, longer execution times, and insufficient safety measures. To address these issues, a new coefficient scrambling scheme based on \textit{chaotic maps} is proposed. This approach leverages the pseudorandomness, ergodicity, and sensitivity to initial conditions inherent in chaotic maps to generate highly unpredictable coefficient distributions, thereby strengthening security while preserving low complexity. Unlike conventional scrambling, chaotic maps ensure minimal correlation between encrypted coefficients, enhancing resistance against statistical and differential attacks. Additionally, the scrambling conditions are specifically designed to minimize the impact on the bit rate overhead. Furthermore, when combined with syntax element encryption (SEC), which includes motion vector difference (MVD), quantized transform coefficients (QTC), and luma intraprediction mode (Luma IPM), this method effectively distorts video content. The proposed scheme operates synchronously with slices, ensuring that the decryption of video content remains intact even if some slices are lost. Additionally, a random sequence generated by AES-CTR is incorporated with the H.265 encoded stream to protect against chosen-plaintext attacks.
