Secure Image Messaging Platform Utilizing Image Stenography and AES Encryption

This paper introduces a robust web application for secure image transmission, integrat- ing AES encryption and hashed data to safeguard both the confidentiality and integrity of shared images. Employing cyberblock chaining mode enhances the encryption process, fortifying data protection. The sender module employs AES encryption, while the receiver module decrypts and displays the images securely. User authentication ensures the integrity of data transfer, while a user-friendly inter- face streamlines the image transmission pro- cess. This application finds relevance across diverse sectors including healthcare, legal, and corporate environments where image confidentiality and data integrity are paramount.
