Summary:
The aim of this work is to explore the utilization of permutation-based transformations to achieve compression, encryption and steganography in the domain of digital videos. The main contribution of this dissertation is a novel type of digital video encryption that has several advantages over other currently available digital video encryption methods. An extended classification of digital video encryption algorithms is presented in order to clarify these advantages. The classification itself represents an original work, since to date, no such comprehensive classification is provided in known scientific literature. Both security and performance aspects of the proposed method are thoroughly analyzed to provide evidence for high security and performance efficiency. Since the basic model is feasible only for a certain class of video sequences and video codecs, several extensions providing broader applicability are described along with the basic algorithm. An additional significant contribution is the proposition of a novel type of digital video steganography based on disguising a given video by another video. Experimental results are generated for a number of video sequences to demonstrate the performance of proposed methods.
