Scrambling and Descrambling of Document Image for Data Security in Cloud Computing

Abstract

This paper presents the issue of security for the document image, which may store in the cloud environment. To provide the protect to the document image is gained by using the Arnold Transform scrambling and descrambling method. In today’s scenario, we are witnesses of the rapid development of the technology. The security of data is becoming the most critical factor. The Document image is treats as the digital property of any individual person, organization or any Government sector. The digitized documents are stored from any place and allow the access also from any place on the globe, by using Cloud computing technologies. Hence, there has been an issue of security, which plays the important role. The security issue still exists in cloud computing. This security issue is motivated to address in this paper. We have considered the Arnold Transformation method for scrambling the document image. The image may send using the medium of internet technology or store in the cloud. By using this work, the security applied to the document image and this ensures un-authorized persons should not be able to read or exploit the document image information. To retrieve the original image descrambling process is applied. The proposed method exhibited encouraging results. © 2020, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
