Image Encryption & Decryption Using AES Algorithm

The document proposes an image encryption and decryption system using the AES algorithm. It introduces AES, describing it as a symmetric block cipher that encrypts 128-bit blocks using 10 to 14 rounds depending on the key size. It then explains the encryption and decryption processes, which involve steps like substitution, shifting rows, mixing columns, and adding round keys. Code snippets and screenshots demonstrate encrypting an image file, prompting the user for a password to decrypt it, and verifying the decrypted file matches the original. The system aims to securely transmit images by encrypting them during transmission and decrypting at the receiving end using AES.

I Introduction

There has been a recent increase in the number of people who

use computers and other gadgets for communication and data

transmission. Along with these individuals, there has been an

increase in the number of unauthorised users who are attempting

to gain access to data through deception. As a result, the issue of

data security arises. Images are transferred across an unsecured

transmission channel from a variety of sources; some image data

contains classified data, and some images are very sensitive;

hence, protecting them from assault is crucial.


To fix this, we encrypt and decrypt images using the AES method.

Unauthorized users cannot read this encrypted data. It can be

delivered across the network and decrypted at the receiving end

using AES. As a result, the image transmission is secured.

I Operation of AES

AES uses bytes rather than bits to

conduct operations. The cipher

handles 128 bits (or 16 bytes) of

input data at a time since the block

size is 128 bits.


These 16 bytes are arranged in 4

columns and 4 rows for processing

as a matrix.
The number of rounds in AES is

variable and depends on the length

of the key. Each of these rounds uses


a different 128-bit round key, which is
calculated from the original AES key.

I Encryption

AES considers each block as a 16 byte (4 byte x 4

byte = 128 ) grid in a column major arrangement.


Each round comprises of 4 steps:

II Conclusion

The system encrypts the provided file into an

unreadable format. This is accomplished

through the use of the AES encryption algorithm.


The system decrypts the encrypted file and

converts it to a readable format. This is

accomplished through the use of the AES

decryption mechanism. The produced image

should be identical to the original.


The mechanism ensures that the image is

safely sent via any medium. Because

unauthorised access is not permitted, a third-

party system cannot make changes to the file

being delivered.
