Abstract
To achieve an improvement in security in encryption of an image signal obtained through imaging by an array sensor. A sensor device includes: an array sensor in which a plurality of pixels including light-receiving elements for visible light or invisible light are arrayed 1-dimensionally or 2-dimensionally; and an encryption unit configured to encrypt a read signal from the pixels of the array sensor. By encrypting a read signal, it is possible to achieve an improvement in security by enabling the image signal not to be stored in plain text in a memory.
