Many practical applications need compression and security. Encryption is a security control and widely used in many computer applications to provide protection for data. The images are encrypted before compression to give high level security and drawn much attention in several applications like data transferring, medical, navy and military operations. This paper has proposed an efficient image Encryption and Then Compression system (ETC) using Asymmetric Numeral Method (ANM) for compressing the images. The proposed ANM coder is compared with the existing Huffman and Arithmetic coder. The comparative analysis will be carried out for different size of images and results are illustrated that the proposed system is efficient in terms of compression ratio (Bits per Pixel) and computation time.
