Secure Separate Bit Plane Image Processing for Distributed Video Surveillance System (DVSS/DVC)

For emerging applications such as wireless video cameras, wireless low-power surveillance networks, and disposable video cameras for medical applications. DVC is useful and maybe the best choice. Since the primary objective of DVC is low-complexity video encoding, the bulk of computation is shifted (transmitted) to the decoder, as opposed to a low-complexity decoder in conventional video compression standards such as H.264 and MPEG. Besides the low bit rate, the transmission has to be very secure also. That means the complexity of the used keys should be rather high and the keyspace has to be large to provide enough individual keys for a large wireless sensor network.
