Cover Story: Images often contain sensitive content such as personal data, medical records, confidential documents, or military intelligence. Unauthorized access can lead to severe consequences. Encryption is an effective approach to safeguarding image security and privacy. Recently, a JPEG image encryption method using an adaptive encryption key was presented by He et al. However, He’s scheme has shown to be vulnerable to chosen plaintext attack. This study first demonstrates that the adaptive key generation in He’s scheme introduces exploitable security risks and then proposes an improved chosen plaintext attack scheme by replacing the single-permutation approach with an additive value method, which can significantly improve the attack success rates. The proposed method also provides insights for developing more robust image cryptographic schemes. View this paper

Loss Clustering at MSP Buffer

  • Andrzej Chydzinski and
  • Blazej Adamczyk

Packet losses cause a decline in the performance of packet networks, and this decline is related not only to the percentage of losses but also to the clustering of them together in series. We study how the correlation of packet sizes influences this...

Can Differential Privacy Hinder Poisoning Attack Detection in Federated Learning?

  • Chaitanya Aggarwal,
  • Divya G. Nair,
  • Jafar Aco Mohammadi,
  • Jyothisha J. Nair and
