Abstract

Image scrambling is a fundamental task for several applications, from secure digital content transmission to mutual visual authentication. This paper proposes and evaluates several simple techniques with the aim of being efficient in respect to wavelet compression algorithms and fit for mobile applications. Then, the proposed methods are meant to comply with the average structure of wavelet-based coders and require very low computational capacity. Comparative results are provided both for evaluating the scrambling efficacy and the computational complexity.
