Secure HEVC video by encrypting header of wavefront parallel processing

Abstract

This research proposed a method In securing HEVC video. The proposed method considered to be efficient (few bytes that being manipulated), effective (changes in certain frame impacts whole group of picture), powerful (shown by visual and PSNR analysis), and has potential use in video-related applications. The main idea of the proposed method is performing an encryption method to the first 3 bytes of WPP's header for video which is one of the feature of the HEVC standard. The encryption is done for I, P, and B frames of the inputed video. The algorithm gives good results, which can be shown from visual observation as well as from an objective assessment that gives a small value of PSNR.
