Predictive joint compression and encryption for images and videos

Abstract

A joint compression and encryption system is configured to retrieve, from a local memory or image capture device, an image file including a first plurality of segments. The system is further configured to identify, for one or more segment of the first plurality of segments, a matching segment in a local segmentation repository. The system is further configured to compress remaining segments of the first plurality of segments for which no matching segment was identified into a compressed remaining segment set. The system is further configured to transmit, via an unsecure communication channel and to a second computing entity, the identifications of the matching segments, and the compressed remaining segment set. The system is further configured to, prior to retrieving the image file, perform a handshake or calibration process. The system is further configured to encrypt the matching segments using a key into an encrypted segment set and transmit the key to the second computing entity. In embodiments, the second computing entity, using the key, decrypts the encrypted segment set.
