Abstract:
An apparatus and method for preserving image privacy when manipulated by cloud services includes middleware for receiving an original image, splitting the original image into two sub-images, where the RGB pixel values of the sub-images have a bit value that is less than RGB pixel values of the original image. The sub-images are encrypted by adding a keystream to the RGB pixel values of the sub-images. The sub-image data is transmitted to a cloud service such as a social network or photo-sharing site, which manipulate the images by resizing, cropping, filtering, or the like. The sub-image data is received by the middleware and is successfully decrypted irrespective of the manipulations performed by the cloud services. In an alternative embodiment, the blocks of the original image are permutated when encrypted, and then reverse-permutated when decrypted.
Abstract:
Various embodiments are directed to a heterogeneous processor architecture comprised of a CPU and a GPU on the same processor die. The heterogeneous processor architecture may optimize source code in a GPU compiler using vector strip mining to reduce instructions of arbitrary vector lengths into GPU supported vector lengths and loop peeling. It may be first determined that the source code is eligible for optimization if more than one machine code instruction of compiled source code under-utilizes GPU instruction bandwidth limitations. The initial vector strip mining results may be discarded and the first iteration of the inner loop body may be peeled out of the loop. The type of operands in the source code may be lowered and the peeled out inner loop body of source code may be vector strip mined again to obtain optimized source code.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for cryptographic access control of multimedia video, include embedding as metadata access control policy (ACP) information, including authorization rules and cryptographic information tied to an encryption policy, into encrypted video. An authorized receiver device having credentials and/or capabilities matched to the authorization rules is able to extract the ACP information from the encrypted video and use it to decrypt and properly render the video.
Abstract:
Various embodiments are generally directed an apparatus and method for processing an encrypted graphic with a decryption key associated with a depth order policy including a depth position of a display scene, generating a graphic from the encrypted graphic when the encrypted graphic is successfully decrypted using the decryption key and assigning the graphic to a plane at the depth position of the display scene when the encrypted graphic is successfully decrypted.
Abstract:
A method and device for securely sharing images across untrusted channels includes downloading an encrypted image from a remote server to a computing device. The encrypted image may be encrypted at the time of uploading by another user. The current user of the computing device is authenticated using a facial recognition procedure. If the current user is authenticated and is determined to be authorized to view the decrypted image, the encrypted image is decrypted and displayed to the user. If the user becomes unauthenticated (e.g., the user leaves the computing device or another user replaces the current user), the encrypted image is displayed in place of the encrypted image such that the decrypted image is displayed only for authorized persons physically present at the computing device.
Abstract:
Embodiments of techniques and systems for biometric-data-based media encryption are described. In embodiments, an encryption key may be created for a recipient user based at least in part on biometric data of the recipient user. This encryption key may be maintained on a key maintenance component and used by a sharing user to encrypt a media file for access by the recipient user. One or more access policies associated with recipient user may be encrypted in the encrypted media file as well. In embodiments, the media file may be encrypted for use by multiple recipient users. When a recipient user desires to access the encrypted media file, a decryption key may be generated in real time based on contemporaneously captured biometric data and used to provide access to the encrypted media file. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
A password-less method for authenticating a user includes capturing one or more images of a face of the user and comparing the one or more images with a previously collected face template. Randomly selected colored light and randomized blinking patterns are used to capture the images of the user. Such captured images are compared to previously collected face templates, thereby thwarting spoof attacks. A secret image, known only to the user and the device, is moved from one area of the display to another randomly selected area, using the movements of the user's head or face, thereby providing a Turing based challenge. Protected audio video path (PAVP) enabled devices and components are used to protect the challenge from malware attacks.
