Abstract
The rapid growth of digital media and the increasing reliance on visual communication in
various
industries have led to the rising importance of image security. Cryptography, as a
cornerstone of cybersecurity,
ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of digital images. This project delves
into the theoretical
and practical aspects of image security using cryptographic techniques. From basic
encryption algorithms such as RSA
and AES to advanced methods involving quantum cryptography and blockchain, this study
provides a comprehensive
overview of existing methodologies and future directions. Real-world applications in areas
like healthcare,
military, and social media are examined in-depth, supported by case studies and
experimental results. The findings
underscore the need for continuous innovation in cryptography to counteract emerging
threats. This work contributes
to the growing body of knowledge on secure image processing and lays the groundwork for
future research.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Image security has become a critical issue in the digital era due to the increased use of
multimedia
communications, online transactions, and cloud storage services. Securing digital images
involves protecting them
from unauthorized access, ensuring that they are not tampered with during transmission or
storage. Cryptography plays
a vital role in achieving these objectives, providing robust algorithms and protocols to
encrypt and decrypt sensitive
image data. This chapter introduces the concepts of image security and cryptography,
discusses their significance in
modern-day applications, and outlines the objectives of this project.
The increasing threat of cyberattacks targeting visual media has necessitated advancements
in image
protection mechanisms. This includes safeguarding sensitive images used in healthcare
(like medical scans), military
intelligence (satellite imagery), and personal communication. Cryptography, with its dual
capacity to encrypt data
and validate its authenticity, is a linchpin in these protective measures. By employing
encryption algorithms such as
AES and RSA, and leveraging cutting-edge technologies like quantum computing, this study
explores how cryptography
provides a shield against potential threats.
