We introduce "differential entropy" as a metric to quantify the amount of randomness in image hash functions and to study their security. We present a mathematical framework and derive expressions for the proposed security metric for various common image hashing schemes. Using the proposed security metric, we discuss the trade-offs between security and robustness in image hashing.}, keywords = {cryptography;, differential, digital, entropy;, extraction;, feature, functions;, hash, hashing;, image, metric;, processing;, randomness;, robustness;, Security, signature;, signatures;}, doi = {10.1109/ICASSP.2005.1415586}, author = {Swaminathan,A. and Mao,Yinian and M.
