| Abstract | ||
| In this paper, a new method to encrypt the signals with one dimension and images (monochrome or color images) in less time than if these signals and images where encrypted with their original sizes. This method depends on extracting the important features which distinguish these signals and images and then discarding them. The next step is encrypting the lowest dimensions of these data. Discrete Wavelet transform (DWT) is used as a feature extraction, because it is a powerful tool of signal processing for multiresolutional possibilities. The chosen data is encrypted with one of the conventional cryptographic algorithms (Permutation algorithm) after shrinking it’s dimension using suitable encryption key. The encrypted data is 100% unrecognized, besides, the decryption algorithm restored the encrypted data to original dimension efficiently. | ||
