New Algorithm for user Friendly Encryption

Abstract

This paper proposes a new algorithm for encrypting secret data to be communicated over internet. This method combines the advantage of normal encryption and visual cryptography. The secret image is encrypted using a new encryption algorithm producing multiple encrypted images. Images are same as the cover images thus become easy to handle. Then meaningful images are embedded on each share using embedding algorithm. At the receiver side after de embedding these meaningful encrypted images are decoded to form the secret image back. This method can be used for multiple meaningful encrypted images with perfect reconstruction of secret image.
