Image Encryption

Overview

This project implements Image Encryption and Decryption service that integrates the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with the user option to choose between RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) and ECC (Elliptic-Curve Cryptography) for the encryption of the master key. The service is capable of handling both color and grayscale images, providing a secure, efficient approach to image encryption.

Key Features

Dual Encryption Mechanism: Primary encryption with AES and an additional layer of security where the user can choose between RSA or ECC for encrypting the AESmaster key.
Unique Identifier for Sessions: Each encryption process generates a unique UUID, ensuring a secure and private decryption process.
Flexible File Formats: Supports common image formats like JPG, PNG, and JPEG.
Highly Secure: Incorporates RSA and ECC, two of the most secure public-key cryptographic algorithms, along with AES.

Installation and Setup

Setting up Conda Environment

Create a new Conda environment

conda create --name image_encryption python=3.9

Activate the environment

conda activate image_encryption

Install the required packages

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the application

uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

⚠ This is the process of running the app in the local system. The link to access the user interface is given below but it is available only when the app server is running on AWS EC2 instance.

Usage

Access the application through a web browser at https://kkvs.duckdns.org/.
Follow the on-screen instructions to encrypt and decrypt images.
Users can choose between RSA and ECC for the encryption of the AES master key.
