Abstract: Images can be a very good evidence during investigation of a crime scene. At the same time they can also contain very personal information which should not be exposed without the consent of the involved people. In this paper, We have presented here a practical approach to protect privacy of under investigation images with the use of Arnold’s Transform (AT) scrambling and Support Vector Machine, We also provide a new approach towards the whole forensics service provided by the designated agencies with the help of implementation of our approach. We enhanced the security of AT and provided privacy preserving mechanism to ensure protection of privacy. In literature only policies are defined to protect the privacy and lack of a solid approach which we have tried to resolve with a proof of concept implementation. In short, we have provided a full image forensics framework for illegal image detection while preserving the privacy.
