Performance Evaluation of Symmetrical Encryption Algorithms with Wavelet Based Compression Technique

Abstract

To overcome the different issues connected with security and limited bandwidth during transmission of images, compression and encryption play an important role. To measure the effect on the performance of compression technique followed by encryption techniques is a challenging task. In this paper, biorthogonal discrete wavelet transform (DWT) technique is proposed for compression which is followed by advanced encryption standard (AES) and data encryption standard (DES) technologies to achieve secure transmission of data. The performances of DWT-AES and DWT-DES Compression-encryption (CE) algorithms are analyzed based on statistical and differential parameters. We illustrate the authentication of results by applying the proposed CE algorithms over five standard test images and also by comparing with different state of the art methods. The results show that combination of DWT-DES CE methodology provides high quality of reconstructed image with robustness against different attacks.
