Project description
FET Open cut-off 14/3/2006
The goal of SPEED is to foster the advancement of the marriage between Signal Processing and Cryptographic techniques, both at theoretical and practical level. The objective is the initiation and development of a totally new and unexplored interdisciplinary framework and technologies for signal processing in the encrypted domain (s.p.e.d.). As a result, entirely new solutions will emerge to the problem of security in multimedia communication/consumption, and digital signal manipulations.Most of technological solutions proposed so far to cope with multimedia security simply tried to apply some cryptographic primitives on top of the signal processing modules. These solutions are based on the assumption that the two communicating parties trust each other, so that the encryption is used only to protect the data against third parties. In many cases, though, this is not the case. For instance, in copyright protection applications, the content owner do not trust the users. Recently, some pioneering works addressing a few scattered scenarios have pointed out that a possible solution to the above problems could consist in the application of the signal processing modules in the encrypted domain.It is the aim of SPEED to foster the birth of the new s.p.e.d. discipline and to demonstrate its ability to provide solutions to the call for security stemming from some selected application scenarios, including multimedia security and privacy-preserving access to sensitive contents. SPEED research activity will be carried out both at a theoretical and a practical level, the theoretical part being dedicated to the development of a general framework investigating the fundamental limits and trade-offs of s.p.e.d. and the practical part being devoted to the development of some of the basic s.p.e.d. building blocks and to their application in some selected scenarios. The project will end with the validation of the proposed solutions by means of a demonstrator.
