An Efficient Framework for Secure Image Archival and Retrieval System Using Multiple Secret Share Creation Scheme

Abstract

Due to the advanced growth in multimedia data and Cloud Computing (CC), Secure Image Archival and Retrieval System (SIARS) on cloud has gained more interest in recent times. Content based image retrieval (CBIR) systems generally retrieve the images relevant to the query image (QI) from massive databases. However, the secure image retrieval process is needed to ensure data confidentiality and secure data transmission between cloud storage and users. Existing secure image retrieval models faces difficulties like minimum retrieval performance, which fails to adapt with the large-scale IR in cloud platform. To resolve this issue, this article presents a SIARS using deep learning (DL) and multiple share creation schemes. The proposed SIARS model involves Adagrad based convolutional neural network (AG-CNN) based feature extractor to extract the useful set of features from the input images. At the same time, secure multiple share creation (SMSC) schemes are executed to generate multiple shares of the input images. The resultant shares and the feature vectors are stored in the cloud database with the respective image identification number. Upon retrieval, the user provides a query image and reconstructs the received shared image to attain the related images from the database. An elaborate experimentation analysis is carried out on benchmark Corel10K dataset and the results are examined in terms of retrieval efficiency and image quality. The attained results ensured the superior performance of the SIARS model on all the applied test images.
