Abstract

In this paper, we describe a novel encryption algorithm, which converts a greyscale image into a colored JPEG image. Firstly, it creates MCU (Minimum Coding Unit) of the colored JPEG image from the DU (Data Unit) of the greyscale image by the 8x8 construction matrix randomly. Secondly, it shuffles all the DUs with quantized DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) coefficients according to a random ergodic matrix. Lastly, it rearranges the DUs as the format of the colored JPEG image and proceeds with the normal compression and encoding. The results show that the encryption speed of the algorithm is fast enough for real-time transmission and the encrypted image has almost the same size as original image after direct compression.
