Compressed 3D Image Information and Communication Security

Chengshuai Yang, Yuyang Ding, Jinyang Liang +11 more

Abstract Ensuring information and communication security in military messages, government instructions, scientific experiments, as well as in personal data processing, is critical. In this study, a new hybrid classical–quantum cryptographic scheme to protect image information and communication security is developed by combining a quantum key distribution (QKD) and compressed sensing (CS). This method employs a QKD system to generate true random codes among the remote legitimate users and utilizes these random codes to encrypt and decrypt compressed 3D image information based on the CS algorithm. Therefore, this new technique can provide computational security in the image information transmission process by the encryption and decryption of CS algorithm, and the information and communication security can be evaluated in real time by monitoring the QKD system. Furthermore, this technique can directly transmit and reconstruct the compressed 3D image information based on the modified TwIST algorithm, and thus fewer random codes are required in QKD system, which can improve the information transmission bandwidth. Consequently, this technique not only provides a new application of a QKD system but also extends the CS‐based image reconstruction from 2D to 3D. This study may open a new opportunity in the field of information and security communication.

Secure Source Coding

Paul Cuff, Curt M. Schieler

This chapter assumes that a limited amount of secret key and reliable communication are available for use in encoding and transmitting a stochastic signal. The chapter starts at the beginning, with a more general proof of Shannon's “key must be as large as the message” result that holds even for stochastic encoders. Three directions are explored. First, for lossless compression and perfect secrecy, variable length codes or key regeneration allow for a tradeoff between efficiency of compression and efficiency of secret key usage. Second, the relaxation to imperfect secrecy is studied. This is accomplished by measuring the level of secrecy either by applying a distortion metric to the eavesdropper's best possible reconstruction or by considering the eavesdropper's ability to guess the source realization. Finally, an additional relaxation is made to allow the compression of the source to be lossy. The chapter concludes by showing how the oft-used equivocation metric for information theoretic secrecy is a particular special case of the rate–distortion theory contained herein. Introduction Source coding is the process of encoding information signals for transmission through digital channels. Since efficiency is a primary concern in this process, the phrase “source coding” is often used interchangeably with “data compression.” The relationship between source coding and channel coding is that channel coding produces digital resources from natural resources (e.g., a physical medium), and source coding consumes digital resources to accomplish a task involving information, often simply moving it from one point to another. The channel coding side of information theoretic security is referred to as physical layer security. This usually involves designing a communication system for a physical wiretap channel, introduced by Wyner in [1], which produces a provably secure digital communication link. Another important challenge in physical layer security is the production of a secret key based on common observations, such as channel fading parameters or prepared quantum states. Although a key agreement protocol does not necessarily involve a channel, it is consistent with the spirit of channel coding in that the objective is the production of digital resources.
