Image Encryption using Cryptography

Abstract: The paper focuses to enhance the security of digital images by implementing encryption through the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. A highly trusted and vastly employed encryption technology for securing image data both in transit and at rest is AES. The paper seems to employ dividing the digital data into data blocks and executing AES on each block. Encrypting the blocks forms the encrypted image file. To decrypt the image, the same encryption key used for encryption must be entered. Also, a significant improvement in terms of security, speed, and memory usage for different sizes and types of images is explored. The project aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of AES encryption in securing digital images and its potential for practical use in situations where image security is paramount.
