A Fast Text-to-Image Encryption-Decryption Algorithm for Secure Network Communication

Abstract

Data security is the science of protecting data in information technology, including authentication, data encryption, data decryption, data recovery, and user protection. To protect data from unauthorized disclosure and modification, a secure algorithm should be used. Many techniques have been proposed to encrypt text to an image. Most past studies used RGB layers to encrypt text to an image. In this paper, a Text-to-Image Encryption-Decryption (TTIED) algorithm based on Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black (CMYK) mode is proposed to improve security, capacity, and processing time. The results show that the capacity increased from one to four times compared to RGB mode. Security was also improved due to a decrease in the probability of an adversary discovering keys. The processing time ranged between 0.001 ms (668 characters) and 31 s (25 million characters), depending on the length of the text. The compression rate for the encrypted file was decreased compared to WinRAR. In this study, Arabic and English texts were encrypted and decrypted.

Ensuring privacy and confidentiality of cloud data: A comparative analysis of diverse cryptographic solutions based on run time trend

“…From these discussions, it could be concluded that data size is proportional to the decryption time for Salsa20, Chaca20, and ERSA as indicated in Table 2. This makes their trend of decryption time deterministic, predictable, and linear which is supported by the works of [44,51]. With a linear trend of decryption time, hackers can predict, intercept and modify data [52].…”

Medical image encryption using multi chaotic maps

“…It protects the image while it is being transmitted over a public network. Using the secret keys and decryption technique, only an authorized person can acquire the original image in this procedure [20].…”

Medical Image Encryption: A Comprehensive Review

“…Images sent over the internet are vulnerable to eavesdropping, tampering, unauthorized duplication, and other forms of theft because they are sent in clear text. With today's heavy reliance on electronic communication networks, protecting private information is more important than ever [3]. In light of this, there has been an increased focus in recent years on protecting the image in an effective manner.…”
