Abstract

H.264 is the new generation international video coding standard which is established by ITU-T and ISO in 2003. It provides high compressibility quality and adaptability for internet transmission. The major methods for video security protection are digital watermarking and multimedia encryption. In this paper, we focus our works on the video security protection; propose a video security protection system combining digital watermarking and digital encryption. Our improved method increases the efficiency of embedding watermark while keeping the same robust. And we also propose a video encryption method based on scrambling. Experiment results confirm that the performance of our improved algorithm is better than the existing methods.
