A Highly Secure Algorithm to Encrypt a Data Using a Low Area AES Implementation

Abstract

In modern world information security plays an important role in data transfer, sharing and data storage. It is important to secure the information so that nobody can hack the personal information. Medical images, surveillance images, personal photos, video recordings need to be well protected, transmission and storage of these images in cloud environment is very challenging. Media images and video recordings must be highly encrypted so that loss of information during encryption and decryption process is avoided. The different architectures for Mix Column approach and the one with low area will be implemented further in AES. Also, the conventional Visual Cryptography techniques consumes more channel bandwidth, since each pixel gets divided into two pixels with the same share. Thus, with an intention of higher security, AES will be merged with a novel visual cryptographic technique.
