This document outlines a proposed seminar project on developing a scheme for encrypted image data compression. It begins with an introduction that defines image compression, encryption, and common standards. It then analyzes relevant literature on compressing encrypted data and defines the problem of developing a mechanism for both security and optimal bandwidth use. The proposed approach, technology to be used, advantages and disadvantages are outlined. The document concludes with references. The overall goal is to first develop an encryption mechanism and then a compression mechanism for encrypted images.
