Format-Compliant Encryption of H.264/AVC and SVC
Thomas Stütz, Andreas Uhl · 2008
An encryption approach for H.264/AVC and SVC is proposed. Although the bitstream (format stream) is encrypted with state-of-the-art symmetric ciphers, H.264/AVC and SVC compliance is preserved. Standard compliant encoder/decoder and conventional symmetric ciphers, e.g., in specialized hardware, can still be employed – a significant advantage compared to previous work. The approach is suitable for a wide range of application scenarios.
