Secure Image Encryption System

Description

The Secure Image Encryption System is a project that encrypts image files to protect them from unauthorized access. The system converts image data into encrypted format using encryption algorithms and allows the image to be decrypted back using a key.

Problem Statement

The goal of this project was to understand how encryption works and how data such as images can be secured using encryption techniques. This provides practical understanding of cryptographic concepts and data protection.

Features

• Image encryption using encryption algorithms
• Image decryption to restore original images
• Key-based encryption for secure access control
• File handling for reading and writing image data
• Secure image storage in encrypted format
