Integration of BWT scrambling and data compression in an innovative system enhances protection and versatile management of sensor feeds (SEC)

Abstract

The proposed Sensor Data Encryption with Compression (SEC) system is presented as an innovative solution for sensor data processing, aiming to achieve optimal efficiency while improving security and adaptability by integrating robust cryptography with advanced compression techniques. The system's objective is to create a reliable framework for managing sensitive sensor data by effectively tackling challenges in data processing through a balanced combination of strong cryptography and sophisticated compression methods. The SEC system utilizes advanced encryption and compression techniques, including the scrambling of Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT), Move-to-Front (MTF) encoding, Run-Length Encoding (RLE), and Huffman coding, to attain exceptional compression efficiency while maintaining data integrity. The practical implementation of the SEC system shows an impressive 85% enhancement in data compression efficiency, as evidenced by reduced Bits per Character (BPC) across various sensor data inputs, along with improved resistance to cryptanalysis due to an increased unicity distance. Consequently, the SEC system demonstrates itself to be a robust and efficient solution, achieving superior data compression and enhanced cryptographic resilience, thereby addressing critical challenges in sensor data processing.
