Abstract

Generally, digital video sometimes are stored and processed in an encrypted format to maintain privacy and security. For the purpose of content notation, it is necessary to perform data hiding in these encrypted videos. In this way, data hiding in encrypted domain without decryption preserves the confidentiality of the content. In addition, it is more efficient without decryption followed by data hiding and re-encryption. This thesis proposes a novel scheme of data hiding directly in the encrypted version of AVI video stream, which includes the following three parts, i.e., AVI video encryption, data embedding, and data extraction. By analyzing the property of AVI codec and the code words of motion vector differences are encrypted with stream ciphers. Then, a data hider may embed additional data in the encrypted domain by using codeword substitution technique, without knowing the original video content. In order to adapt to different application scenarios, data extraction can be done either in the encrypted domain or in the decrypted domain. Furthermore, video file size is strictly preserved even after encryption and data embedding. Experimental results have demonstrated the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed scheme.
