, 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY




This report proposes an AES (Advance Encryption Standard) based image
encryption algorithm. Due to the rising use of images in a range of fields, it is essential to
safeguard sensitive picture data from unauthorized disclosure. With a block size of 128
bits and a key size of 256 bits, the design is iterative. The number of rounds for a 256-bit
key is 14. The complexity and security of cryptography algorithms increases as the secret
key expands. The image is being used as an input to AES Encryption to generate the
encrypted image, and the encrypted image is being used as an input to AES Decryption
to produce the original image.
