Abstract
In this research, a joint image compression and encryption scheme is presented which works for different image dimensions 256X256, 512X512 and 1024X1024 and different image sizes. The proposed scheme is efficient as compression and encryption is done simultaneously which makes computations faster and secure at the same time. The compression scheme deployed is like JPEG compression but uses column-wise scanning and optimization instead of zigzag scanning. In entropy phase coding, Huffman coding of JPEG compression is replaced with Arithmetic coding. Image encrypted using XOR encryption is unbreakable, as used earlier in one-time pad. Compressed data is XORed with randomly generated number. The proposed scheme is implemented for grayscale images using MATLAB software version 2016a. The experimental results showed that the scheme provides good compression ratio, secures against attacks and takes less computation time. This can be further extended for RGB images of different dimension 256X256, 512X512 and 1024X1024 and different image sizes.
