Secure Surveillance Framework for IoT Systems Using Probabilistic Image Encryption
Khan Muhammad, Rafik Hamza, Jamil Ahmad, Jaime Lloret, Haoxiang Wang, Sung Wook Baik
SJR Q1IEEE Transactions on Industrial InformaticsOA

This paper proposes a secure surveillance framework for Internet of things (IoT) systems by intelligent integration of video summarization and image encryption. First, an efficient video summarization method is used to extract the informative frames using the processing capabilities of visual sensors. When an event is detected from keyframes, an alert is sent to the concerned authority autonomously. As the final decision about an event mainly depends on the extracted keyframes, their modificatio
