Abstract
Data could be in many forms like text, image, audio, video and many others. Amongst these data, processing image is of important concern even with sophisticated technologies. Generally, images consume more storage space and processing time. This work aims in attaining a novel image encryption strategy that consumes very less computational time with maximum security. The idea is to split the image into blocks and rearrange the pixels in diagonal fashion to achieve confusion. Next, the blocks are combined to form sub images and one block of the sub image is subjected to Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA 512 bits). The SHA bits are XORed with the remaining blocks of the sub image. Finally, the entire image is encrypted using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Decryption process is the exact reverse of encryption process. The computational overhead is very low, and security is efficient. The results are compared with existing encryption techniques.
