CryptoNix is our in-house video security solution. It consists of CryptoEye for de-identifying regions of interest in video and CryptoIndex for verifying the de-identification rate.
Security cameras are being installed in growing numbers for crime prevention and safety. As of 2023, Korea's public institutions alone ran about 1.77 million, and with private cameras the total is estimated at over 21 million.
As security cameras, drones, and IP cameras spread through daily life, privacy violations involving video are rising as well. In 2023, the most common privacy complaints concerned video surveillance devices, and damage from hacking and data leaks keeps growing.
However, current de-identification products either cannot restore masked video or apply de-identification only after recording (encoding), leaving a window for personal information to leak.
Now, we need technology that securely de-identifies personal information in video from capture while still allowing the original video to be viewed when needed.
Real-time and high-speed region-of-interest (ROI) encryption
A real-time and high-speed ROI encryption solution that detects and encrypts only the regions with personal information in selected frames during encoding.
Unlike previous video de-identification solutions, CryptoEye can restore the original and saves storage without keeping a separate copy.
Object De-identified Rate (ODR) analysis
An ODR analysis solution for verifying the security level of de-identified video. It measures the ODR of each frame and precisely identifies the frames where it drops.
Unlike previous video de-identification solutions, CryptoIndex finds frames that were not de-identified to prevent unintended privacy exposure.
Only authorized users can decrypt the encrypted regions and restore the original video.
Without authorization, personally identifiable information stays encrypted, preventing privacy leaks at the source.
Works reliably with standard video codecs, including AVC/H.264, HEVC/H.265, and VVC/H.266.
It can be easily applied to existing video equipment and systems that use different codecs.
Measures the ODR of each frame to verify that de-identification is sufficient.
Frames with a low de-identification rate are found right away, reducing unintended privacy exposure.
Because it encrypts only regions of interest during encoding, it runs faster than processing the entire video.
It protects personally identifiable information in real time without excessive load, even on low-spec, low-power devices.
