This document compares image encryption using discrete cosine transforms (DCT) and discrete wavelet transforms (DWT). It first provides background on DCT and DWT, explaining how each decomposes an image. It then analyzes the security of encrypting an image using each transform, measuring correlation, mean square error, and peak signal-to-noise ratio. The document finds that DWT provides better encryption, with each level of decomposition having different security statistics. It concludes that DWT is a better decomposition technique for encrypting images.
