Abstract:
A recently proposed 3D object encryption scheme enables hierarchical decryption, allowing a single encryption to display varied visual effects upon decryption. This has potential applications in complex scenarios where 3D objects require access at different security levels. However, it has two main issues: lossless decryption is not possible due to precision loss from the IEEE 754 standard, and it is customized for a specific AES algorithm, limiting support for others. Motivated by this, a novel paradigm for 3D object encryption with differentiated visual effects upon decryption is proposed. In this paradigm, the precision loss is preserved within the 3D encrypted object, allowing the 3D object after fully decrypting to be identical to the original, and thus it is lossless. Meanwhile, the data to be encrypted is reduced to three blocks, which are generalized bitstreams. Bitstream encryption algorithms that do not produce ciphertext expansion can be applied, and it operates independently of the other components in the paradigm, making it universal. Finally, a prototype of this paradigm is constructed, using the same encryption algorithm as in the previous scheme for comparative experiments. Two 3D object datasets are used to conduct the experiments and results demonstrate that it achieves lossless decryption and has a time advantage, while also undergoing security analysis and verification against smoothing attacks to confirm the security.
