Image Security Using Triple DES and DES Algorithms

Data is always the source of all information and must be more secured at all cost. Cryptography helps in preventing data from outer malicious attacks while it is transferred through the network. In this we use both Triple data encryption standard (TDES) and Data Encryption Standard (DES). It uses a security key of 16 bit and 8 bit respectively to protect the safety of the image being transferred. The main applications of these algorithms rely on medical and military basis as information or images shared must maintain the privacy. The images shared are first encrypted and then decrypted using the key that the receiver must know in prior.
