This paper presents an authentication scheme and an access control scheme for JPEG2000 image codestreams based on hash chains. Both schemes are fully compatible with the core part of JPEG2000 standard. The authentication scheme allows users to verify the authenticity of sub-images progressively extracted from a single codestream protected with a single signature, and the access control scheme allows users to access sub-images partially decrypted from a single encrypted JPEG2000 codestream. In addition, the two schemes can be integrated to provide both authenticity and access control simultaneously. Our experiments demonstrate the two scheme are very efficient and highly scalable.
