  1. INTRODUCTION

    Transmission of multimedia data through network has been increased rapidly in 21st century to provide instant access of digital data. The transmission of multimedia data over network demand considerable security and it is very important in sharing personal information through public networks. In literature there were many security methodologies developed by researcher. However, security can be provided to the multimedia data in many ways such as transmitting along with password, image hiding, watermarking, authentication and identification. But these techniques cannot protect secret information when transmitted through single information carrier. If the carrier is lost once, the information may be either damaged or destroyed. In recent days, visual cryptography is the technique used to transmit the secret information by encrypting into images called secrete image. The sharing of secret images over public network is an important and recent

    trending the field of communication technology, information security and production.

    With the increasing requirements for more flexibility and higher performance in embedded systems design, a new computing paradigm reconfigurable architecture such as Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) promises greater flexibility without compromise in performance and flexibility. The FPGA contains both memory and logic elements along with an intellectual property (IP) processor core to rapidly implement a computer and custom hardware for high speed embedded systems. So complex applications, like computation intensive kernels, MIMO, OFDM and image processing are accelerated by reconfigurable architecture and achieved higher performance by reducing the instruction fetch, decode and execute bottleneck. The FPGA brings the phenomenon of configuring custom digital circuits dynamically and modified via software. This ability of creating and modifying digital logic circuits without physically altering the hardware provides more flexible and low-cost solution for real time applications. So High Speed Computing Systems (HSCS) should have one or more resources of such kind as PE to enhance the speed of real time application. This phenomenon of dynamic reconfiguration of an application is enabled by the availability of high-density programmable logic chips FPGA. The FPGA architecture is available in two forms.

    Fine-grained FPGA Architecture: An FPGA consists of a matrix of programmable logic cells with a grid of interconnecting lines running between them. In addition, there are I/O pins on the perimeter that provide an interface between the FPGA, the interconnecting lines and the chip's external pins. However, FPGAs tend to be somewhat fine- grained in order to achieve high degree of flexibility. This flexibility has its place for situations where the computational requirements are either not known in advance or vary considerably among the needed applications. However, in many cases this extreme level of flexibility is unnecessary

    and would result in significant overheads of area, delay and power consumption. Today, further improvements are being made by embedding coarse-grained elements such as memories, multipliers, and processors within the fine-grained programmable fabric of the FPGA. Coarse-grained FPGA Architecture: Contrasted with Fine-grained FPGAs, the data- path width of coarse-grained elements of reconfigurable architectures is more than one bit. Over the last 15 years, many projects have been investigated and successfully built systems based on Coarse-grained reconfiguration performed within a processor or amongst processors. The Coarse-gained reconfiguration procedure is much faster than that found in Fine-grained FPGAs. The Coarse- grained elements can implement a specific function more efficiently than Fine- grained programmable logic. However, since Coarse-gained FPGA architecture is not as flexible, they only benefit applications which utilize them. In this thesis, Coarse-grained elements required for targeted computing architecture is configured on Fine-grained FPGA architecture to support faster execution of real-life applications.

    This research has been proposed to design and develop energy efficient and high-speed architecture for secure multimedia applications using visual cryptography. In this research, a hardware model will be developed for the behavior of visual cryptography to encrypt the multimedia data such as images and audio information.

  2. LITERATURE REVIEW

Visual cryptography encodes a secret binary image into n shares of random binary patterns. Since the shares which are XORed onto transparencies many do not have visual meaning and hinder the objectives of visual cryptography. A novel technique called halftone visual cryptography has been proposed into achieve visual cryptography via half toning. The proposed method utilizes the void and cluster algorithm to encode a secret binary image into n halftone shares (images) carrying significant visual information. Transparency of pixels of the shares can reveal the secret image. The pixels of shares of an image can be generated randomly, on the other hand the cover image also could play significant role in generation of the first share. The encrypted shares generated by cover image looks like visually less similar as compared to those shares generated without using cover image. The method proposed in encourages the use of properly selected cover image for visual cryptography with pixel transparency. Preserving the privacy of digital biometric information, i.e. face images, stored in a central database has become supreme importance. In, a visual cryptography framework has been proposed for providing privacy to biometric information such as fingerprint, iris codes, and face images. The private face image is partition into two face images sheets and the image sheets are stored in two independent database servers. The individual sheet of private image does not support the reveal of its identity. The private image can be reconstructed only when both sheets are available siultaneously. A series of experiments on the face image databases demonstrated the following:

  1. Possibility of hiding a private face image in two image sheets.

  2. Successful matching of private face images sheet and reconstruction.

  3. Inability of individual sheets of private image to reveal the identity of the private face image.

  4. The difficulty of cross database matching for determining identities.

A similar process can be used for fingerprint images and iris codes before storing them in a central database.

The research in demonstrated the problem of encrypting a privacy binary image into n shares of meaningful halftone images using the scheme visual cryptography. The noise introduced during encryption of secret pixels can be nullified into neighboring pixels while enhancing halftone shares. The Visual cryptography has not performed significant role in real time applications because of its difficulty in practice. The shares of visual cryptography are printed on transparencies which needed to be superimposed. However, the precise superimposition is not very easy to do because of the fine resolution as well as printing noise. Furthermore, many visual cryptography applications need to print shares on paper in which scanning of the share is necessary. The print and scan process can introduce noise as well which can make the alignment difficult. In authors have developed a frequency domain alignment scheme to find the alignment position of these shares. Authors in discuss how to use the visual cryptography in watermarking technique. The authors proposed a joint visual-cryptography and watermarking (JVW) algorithm that has the merits of both visual cryptography and watermarking. Both halftone watermarking and visual cryptography involve a hidden secret image and the hidden image can only be revealed when enough shared images are obtained. Authors in have proposed a new method of visual cryptography scheme to encode the encoded n shares into number of sub shares recursively in order to increase the level of security of the encrypted message. In, a robust copyright protection scheme was proposed by using the watermarking technique to generate a secret image and a public image by using the visual cryptography technique. The secret image further can be registered as image to certified authority (CA)to provide protection. Wherein, the watermarking image has been acquired by performing exclusive-OR (XOR) operation on the secret image and the public image. The beauty of VCS scheme enables recovery of the secret image without any cryptographic knowledge and computation devices. An extended visual cryptography scheme (EVCS) [11] is presented by embedding random shares into meaningful covering shares. Visual cryptography is cryptography where n images are encoded in such a way that human only can visualize the decrypted hidden message without any cryptographic computations. In authors have presented an improved algorithm scheme for hiding a color image into multiple color cover images in order to achieve lossless recovery without any additional computational complexity. Recently, a rapid growth has happened in E- Commerce market around the globe. The popularity of online shopping has faced many security issues like Debit or Credit card fraud and personal information security and the issues

has become major concerns of customers, merchants and banks.

In a novel copyright protection scheme is proposed that combines the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and the singular value decomposition (SVD). Instead of modifying the original host image to conceal a secret image, the proposed scheme first extracts the image features from the host image by applying the DWT and the SVD. The extracted features are then classified into two clusters by employing the k-means clustering technique, and a master share is generated using the clustering result. The identified master share is then used together with a secret image to construct an ownership share using visual cryptography (VC) technique. When rightful ownership needs to be determined, the secret image for ownership identification can be revealed by stacking the master share and the ownership share. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed scheme can effectively resist several common attacks.

    research is proposed with the objective of developing Visual

    Cryptography framework on FPGA for secure multimedia applications.

    Finally, the proposed Visual Cryptography architecture will be applied for secure multimedia data storage and transmission.

  2. PROBLEM FORMULATION

    1. System Model

      In this paper, we consider a data system consisting of data owner, data user and server. Given a collection of n encrypted data les C = (F1, F2, . . ., FN) stored in the server, a predened set of distinct keywords W= {w1, w2, …, wp}, the server provides the search service for the authorized users over the encrypted data C. We assume the authorization between the data owner and users is appropriately done. An authorized user types in a request to selectively retrieve data les of his/her interest. The server is responsible for mapping the searching request to a set of data les, where each le is indexed by a le ID and linked to a set of keywords. The fuzzy keyword search scheme returns the search results according to the following rules: 1) if the users searching input exactly matches the pre-set keyword, the server is expected to return the les containing the keyword; 2) if there exist typos and/or format inconsistencies in the searching input, the server will return the closest possible results based on pre-specied similarity semantics (to be formally dened in section III-D).

    2. Threat Model

      We consider a semi-trusted server. Even though data les are encrypted, the server may try to derive other sensitive information from users search requests while performing keyword-based search over C. Thus, the search should be

      conducted in a secure manner that allows data les to be securely retrieved while revealing as little information as possible to the server. In this paper, when designing fuzzy keyword search scheme, we will follow the security denition deployed in the traditional searchable encryption. More specically, it is required that nothing should be leaked from the remotely stored les and index beyond the outcome and the pattern of search queries.

    3. Design Goals

      In this project, we address the problem of supporting efcient yet privacy-preserving fuzzy keyword search services over encrypted data. Specically, we have the following goals: i) to explore new mechanism for constructing storage efcient fuzzy keyword sets; ii) to design efcient and effective fuzzy search scheme based on the constructed fuzzy keyword sets;

      iii) to validate the security of the proposed scheme.

    4. Preliminaries

    There are several methods to quantitatively measure the string similarity. In this paper, we resort to the well-studied edit distance for our purpose. The edit providing an overview of how fuzzy search scheme works over encrypted data. Assume =(Setup(1), Enc(sk,), Dec(sk,)) is a symmetric encryption scheme, where sk is a secret key, Setup(1) is the setup algorithm with security parameter , Enc (sk, 1) and Dec (sk, 2) are the encryption and decryption algorithms, respectively. Let Twi denote a trapdoor of keyword wi. Trapdoors of the keywords can be realized by applying a one- way function f, which is similar as Given a keyword wi and a secret key sk, we can compute the trapdoor of wi as Twi= f (sk, wi). We begin byconstructing the fuzzy keyword set Swi, d for each keyword wiW (1 i p) with edit distance d. The intuitive way to construct the fuzzy keyword set of wi is to enumerate all possible words wi that satisfy the similarity criteria ed (wi, wi) d, that is, all the words with edit distance d from wi are listed. For example, the following is the listing variants after a substitution operation on the rst character of keyword: –

    CASTLE: {AASTLE, BASTLE, DASTLE, ZASTLE}.

    Based on the resulted fuzzy keyword sets, the fuzzy search over encrypted data is conducted as follows:

    1) To build an index for wi, the data owner computes trapdoors Tw=f (sk, wi) for each wiSwi, d with a secret distance ed (w1, w2) between two words w1and w2is the number of operations required to transform one of them into the other. The three primitive operations are 1) Substitution: changing one character to another in a word; 2) Deletion: deleting one character from a word; 3) Insertion: inserting a single character into a word. Given a keyword w, we let Sw, d denote the set of words w satisfying ed (w, w) d for a certain integer d. Using edit distance, the denition of fuzzy keyword search can be formulated as follows: Given a collection of encrypted data les C = (F1, F2, . . . , FN) stored in the server, a set of distinct keywords W= {w1, w2, …, wp}with predened edit distance d, and a searching input (w,

    1. with edit distance k(kd), the execution of fuzzy keyword search returns a set of le IDs whose corresponding data les possibly contain the word w, denoted as F IDw: if w

      = wiW , then return F IDwi; otherwise, if w 6 W, then

      return {F IDwi}, where ed(w, wi) k. Note that the above denition is based on the assumption that k d. In fact, d can be different for distinct i key sk shared between data owner and authorized users. The data owner also encrypts FIDwiasEnc(sk, FIDwikwi).

      The index table {({Twi}wiSwi,d,Enc(sk, FIDwikwi))}wiW and encrypted data les are outsourced to the server for storage; 2) To search with w, the authorized user computes the trapdoor Tw of w and sends it to the server; 3) Upon receiving the search request Tw, the server compares it with the index table and returns all the possible encrypted le identiers {Enc(sk, FIDwikwi)} according to the fuzzy keyword denition in section III-D. The user decrypts the returned results and retrieves relevant les of interest. This straightforward approach apparently provides fuzzy keyword search over the encrypted les while achieving search privacy using the technique of secure trapdoors. However, this approach has serious efciency disadvantages. The enumeration method in constructing fuzzy keyword sets would introduce large storage complexities, which greatly affect the usability. Recall that in the denition of edit distance, substitution, deletion and insertion are three kinds of operations in computation of edit distance. The numbers of all similar words of wi satisfying ed(wi, wi) d for d = 1, 2 and keywords and the system will return {F IDwi}satisfying approximately2k × 26,2k2× 262, and43k 3× 263,ed(w, wi) min{k, d} if exact match fails.

  3. MOTIVATION / PROBLEM STATEMENT DEFINITION

    The Visual Cryptography is a method of encrypting secret image into n number of random shares and distribute to the n number of entities. The encrypted secret image can be decrypted by stacking the distributed random shares from the n number of entities. Visual Cryptography can also be applied to encrypt the secret information into an image. However, the Visual Cryptography Scheme (VCS) suffers from security because of its software implementation. Since the software model of VCS could run-on general-purpose processor requires more power energy and also leave space for security issues. So, this

    research is motivated to develop high speed and energy efficient hardware system for secure multimedia applications.

  4. PROPOSED RESEARCH METHODOLOGY The data flow of the proposed Visual Cryptography architecture for secure multimedia transmission is described in figure 1. The architecture uses a well-known compression scheme to compress the size of the secret shares. Since the embedding process increases the execution time of the entire system and also degrades the quality of the regenerated image, FPGA devices are selected as computing platform. The proposed system provides an integrated environment to process images and it supports only single image format either .gif or .png. The proposed system consists of three basic operations these are compressed share generation, encoding and decoding. Encoding is done by secret share generation and compression of these secret shares. Decoding is done by the stacking of the secret shares at the receivers end.
