Digital Image Encryption Method Using Interleaving and Random Shuffling

Distribution of digital multimedia contents which are used for broadband communication makes it possible for users to have joint ownership of information. It means that illegal copy and forgery of digital contents is possible to individuals. Therefore, it is necessary to protect right of contents authorship using digital watermarking or digital encryption. When watermarking and encryption are combined, it is very powerful method to protect right of contents authorship, But in this paper, we focused on the encryption. In this paper, we proposed digital image encryption method using interleaving and random shuffling to protect right of contents authorship. Experimental results show that proposed method can be used to encrypt digital image data. Key-Words: Multimedia Encryption, Random Shuffling, Digital Right Management
