Multi-Level Chaotic Maps for 3D Textured Model Encryption

Abstract

With the rapid progress of virtual reality and augmented reality technologies, 3D contents are the next widespread media in many applications. Thus, the protection of 3D models is primarily important. Encryption of 3D models is essential to maintain confidentiality. Previous work on encryption of 3D surface model often considers the point clouds, the meshes, and the textures individually. In this work, a multi-level chaotic maps model for 3D textured encryption was presented by observing the different contributions for recognizing cipher 3D models between vertices (point cloud), polygons, and textures. For vertices which make main contribution for recognizing, we use high-level 3D Lu chaotic map to encrypt them. For polygons and textures which make relatively smaller contributions for recognizing, we use 2D Arnold’s cat map and 1D logistic map to encrypt them, respectively. The experimental results show that our method can get similar performance with the other method and use the same high-level chaotic map for point cloud, polygons, and textures, while we use less time. Besides, our method can resist more method of attacks such as statistic attack, brute-force attack, and correlation attack.
