摘要

Thumbnail-Preserving Encryption (TPE) is crucial for secure and efficient image preview in cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) environments, yet existing JPEG-TPE schemes are constrained by a persistent trilemma: excessive file-size expansion, irreversible distortion, and insufficient security. This paper proposes TPE-DDR, a JPEG-compatible thumbnail-preserving encryption framework that combines a tri-difference DC redistribution strategy, a newly designed 2D Coupled Cosine Hyperbolic and Sine (2D-CCHS) hyperchaotic map, and histogram-shifting-based reversible data hiding (HS-RDH). Extensive experiments show that TPE-DDR achieves an average thumbnail PSNR above 54 dB with an average file-size expansion of 1.91 %, while maintaining lossless decryption, full JPEG compatibility, and clear advantages over existing JPEG-TPE methods in thumbnail quality, compression efficiency, and security. These results demonstrate that TPE-DDR provides a practical, high-performance solution for JPEG thumbnail-preserving encryption.
