Surveillance Privacy Protection

In this University of Kentucky program, Samson Cheung, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Kentucky, discusses society's dilemma of wanting greater surveillance at home and work without compromising the right to privacy. Cheung of the University of Kentucky creates programs that can manipulate video surveillance all the way down to the pixel level. For example, an individual in a video can be erased, with that image then embedded into a secure watermark. If the complete video is needed for legal purposes, the stream can be recreated.

i worry about the security of a system like that. as has been shown in the past, everything gets hacked eventually. if someone could develop a way to break the encryption keys then all video with these types of cameras could have the original information exposed.

In an era where new leaders change policy and attemt to retroactively attach punitive measures this could cause a much greater problem.
