Abstract
An electronic device according to an embodiment includes: a camera including an image sensor; a communication module; a memory; and a processor operationally connected to the camera, the communication module, and the memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, instruct the processor to: acquire a first image including an external object by using the camera; acquire a second image including less information than the first image by using at least a part of the first image; transmit the second image to an external electronic device by using the communication module; receive security information corresponding to the second image from the external electronic device by using the communication module; and secure the first image, at least partially based on the security information. In addition, various other embodiments are possible.
