SECURE IMAGE ENCRYPTION USING AES

Abstract

Security in transmission of digital images has its importance in today's image communications, due to the increasing use of images in industrial process, it is essential to protect the confidential image data from unauthorized access, Image security has become a critical issue. The difficulties in ensuring individuals privacy become increasingly challenging. Various methods have been investigated and developed to protect data and personal privacy. Encryption is probably the most obvious one. In order to protect valuable information from undesirable readers, image encryption is essential. This paper presents an application of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) operations in image encryption and decryption. The encrypted cipher images always display the uniformly distributed RGB pixels.
