| Summary: | Traffic management in a smart city mainly relies on video feeds from various sources such as street cameras, car dash cams, traffic signal cameras, and so on. Ensuring the confidentiality of these video feeds during transmission is necessary. However, due to these devices’ poor processing power and memory capacity, the applicability of traditional encryption algorithms is not feasible. Therefore, a selective encryption system based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and chaotic maps is presented in this study. The proposed cryptosystem can be used in smart traffic management. We apply SVD to identify the most significant parts of each frame of the video feed for encryption. Chaotic systems were deployed to achieve high diffusion and confusion properties in the resulted cipher. Our results suggest that the computational overhead is significantly less than that of the traditional approaches with no compromise on the strength of the encryption. © 2022 by the authors.
