Image scrambling on a "mesh-of-tori" architecture

Abstract

Recently, a novel method for image scrambling (and unscrambling) has been proposed. This method is based on a linear transformation involving the Kroneker-delta function. However, while quite interesting, the way it was introduced, leaves some open issues concerning its actual usability for information hiding. Therefore, in this paper, we extend the original proposal and show how it can be used to securely pass image-like information between the users.
