ImageCrypto is a Python package for secure image encryption using various symmetric ciphers with asymmetric Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for key generation.

🔐 ImageCrypto

ImageCrypto is a powerful and easy-to-use Python package for secure image encryption using various symmetric ciphers with asymmetric Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for key generation.

🌟 Features & Available Modules

ImageCrypto offers multiple symmetric encryption algorithms, each implemented as a separate module:

• aes_gcm_128: AES-128 in GCM mode
• aes_ccm_128: AES-128 in CCM mode
• aes_gcm_256: AES-256 in GCM mode
• aes_eax_128: AES-128 in EAX mode
• chacha20_poly1305: ChaCha20-Poly1305
• salsa20: Salsa20

Key features:

• Secure key generation using asymmetric ECC (SECP256R1 curve)
• Fast symmetric encryption
• Easy-to-use API
• Performance metrics (encryption time)
• Visualization of original and encrypted images

Each module provides the same API:

• get_encrypted_image(image_path): Encrypts the image and returns the encrypted image data
• get_encryption_time(image_path): Returns encryption time
• display_images(original_path, encrypted_image): Displays the original and encrypted images

This consistent API across all encryption algorithms allows for easy comparison and flexibility in choosing the most suitable method for your needs.

🚀 Installation

Install ImageCrypto using pip:

pip install imagecrypto

📝 Usage Example

Here's an example of how to use ImageCrypto and display the results:

from imagecrypto import aes_gcm_256
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Define the path for your original image
original_image = "path/to/your/image.jpg"

# Encrypt an image
encrypted_image = aes_gcm_256.get_encrypted_image(original_image)

# Get encryption time
encrypt_time = aes_gcm_256.get_encryption_time(original_image)
print(f"Encryption time: {encrypt_time:.2f} ms")

# Display the original and encrypted images
aes_gcm_256.display_images(original_image, encrypted_image)

Inputs

• Path to an original image file (JPEG, PNG, etc.)

Outputs

• Encrypted image data
• Encryption time (in milliseconds)
• Visual display of original and encrypted images

🛠️ Dependencies

• OpenCV (cv2)
• cryptography
