SCAN: Multi-modal Information Accessing and
Processing Dr. Nikolaos G. Bourbakis Sponsors: NSF, ITRI As society becomes more critically reliant on computing systems and networks to store and transfer information, the risk for security compromise and the destruction and modification of data increases. This research responds to this increased risk. Dr. Bourbakis is now focusing on the need to protect data in today’s digital world. Information is now transferred electronically by very large volumes and in various forms, and is vulnerable to undesirable attacks. SCAN is a tool that provides security and assurance for information processing tasks, SCAN does this by using lossless compression, encryption, and information hiding on still images and video. For still images, SCAN has had an equivalent performance with the JPEG-2000, while the encryption part provides a complexity of 1075000 in years for a 1.0 GHz PC. |
