Abstract
With the popularity of the Industrial Internet of Things, there are huge security challenges in the storage and transmission of image information. How to ensure that transmitted images from malicious attacks and random tampering have become a hot topic of information security. In this paper, a new secure communication scheme is proposed in consideration of the security requirements of transmitted images during the detection of wind turbines process. The scheme is based on the image diffusion method of chaotic systems. By utilizing the sensitivity of the chaotic systems to the initial conditions and parameters, and using the parameters as the key to realizing the encryption and decryption of the image. Furthermore, a large amount of image information will be acquired in real-time during the inspection process of the fan blades by UAVs. Due to the limited computing and storage resources of UAVs, C-E-D three-layer architecture is adopted, which can effectively offload the complex tasks to the edge and cloud to significantly reduce UAVs latency and energy consumption. Test and analysis results show that the proposed encryption scheme is effective and reliable for image security communication applications.
