Abstract
Techniques for cryptographically protecting personally identifiable information in images and videos are described herein. An image may be obtained. One or more regions in the image may be detected based on an object detection algorithm. Pixels for each region of the one or more regions may be encrypted using a symmetric encryption technique and an initialization vector. The encrypted pixels for each region of the one or more regions may be written back into the image. A symmetric key of the symmetric encryption technique and the initialization vector may be encrypted using an asymmetric encryption technique. Metadata of the image may be updated to store the encrypted symmetric key and the encrypted initialization vector.
