Visual Cryptography Based Authentication with AES for the Data

Abstract: In the rapidly evolving digital era, ensuring the security and integrity of data has become a critical priority, particularly with the widespread proliferation of sensitive information across diverse digital platforms. While traditional encryption techniques have demonstrated efficacy, they often encounter challenges such as data format alterations and potential disruptions to existing systems. To surmount these hurdles, this paper proposes an innovative encryption paradigm that amalgamates Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), eXclusive OR (XOR) operation, and a tailored translation methodology meticulously crafted to uphold data format fidelity. This novel approach not only streamlines database modifications but also fortifies security measures. Through a rigorous comparative analysis with extant encryption methodologies, the efficacy and security advantages of the proposed framework are underscored. By seamlessly integrating cryptographic principles and AES, the envisioned solution ensures data confidentiality while preserving database performance and structure integrity, thus furnishing a robust framework for safeguarding sensitive information in today's dynamic digital milieu.
