Comprehensive multimedia encryption system generalization and comparison

Abstract

Unauthorized interception in transmission of multimedia data is very substantial, whether it is intentional or unintentional. With the help of Encryption system, a safe and secured multimedia link can be obtained. In this paper, the popular symmetric encryption algorithms such as DES, 3DES and AES have been applied on the multimedia to avoid any information breach while these data is placed on an open communication network. Concurrently, to counter the time limitation for extensive input data with complete content cipher-ability, a novel symmetric encryption algorithm is developed which is subsequently implemented to cipher the multimedia content. In this paper, implementation and experimental analysis of all the above mentioned algorithms has been realized for different multimedia data. A comparative analysis among them has been performed and represented in a tabular form. Further, the systematic conclusion has been stated based on the results.
