Shrnutí:With the proliferation of the internet, the issue of image tampering has escalated, necessitating robust image encryption schemes. Despite the multitude of proposed image encryption algorithms, challenges such as slow computational speed, weak security, and suboptimal visibility persist. This study addresses these challenges by introducing a high-performance encryption algorithm tailored for dynamic images—QEDI (Quick Encryption Algorithm for Dynamic Images). QEDI leverages elliptic curve-based asymmetric encryption algorithms and hash algorithms. The process involves using a hash algorithm to calculate the hash of the dynamic image slated for encryption, employing the elliptic curve algorithm to generate public and private keys, and utilizing the asymmetric encryption algorithm to process the image hash, resulting in a signature ciphertext. This ciphertext is embedded into the dynamic image, completing the encryption process. To enhance the execution speed without compromising the image quality and visibility, the bit depth of the dynamic image is reduced before hash calculation, and custom information fields are encapsulated to embed the signature ciphertext into the dynamic image. Experimental evaluations, conducted within a dynamic image generation system, encompassed assessments of security, encryption algorithm execution time, and image quality. The results indicate that utilizing QEDI for dynamic image encryption yields better security compared to EDI (Encryption Algorithm for Dynamic Images). QEDI exhibits minimal impact on image quality, with a noteworthy 69.77% reduction in execution time compared to EDI. Furthermore, when compared to existing algorithms employing image conversion for encryption, QEDI-encrypted images demonstrate enhanced visibility, better image quality, and expedited encryption speed.
