Securing CFA Images through the Simultaneous Hybrid Encryption-Watermarking Method Using Quaternions
Abstract: In order to protect digital data against unauthorized copying, falsification and redistribution over the internet, we proposed a new hybrid method of simultaneous encryption-watermarking of CFA (Color Filter Array) images. The CFA images are important for image analysis because these raw images have not undergone any process (interpolation, demosaicking, etc.) that might alter their reliability. This article presents a study of a new technique for the secure transfer of CFA …

Estimation of JPEG Image Compression for Colour Images Using the Forensic Detector
Abstract: Multimedia items would be required to transmit the secret information between the sender and recipient in order to raise the security level imposed on them. Watermarking is the most frequently habituated system for adding security to photos. In numerous cases, using a watermarking strategy to give security isn't feasible. Because the security communication is visible, hackers may add a watermark on the original image, just like the sender did, and …
