A Robust System for Data and Image Privacy Using AES Algorithm

The rising need for secure data transmission requires efficient encryption techniques especially when focused on applying real-time image encryption. An investigation describes the FPGA implementation of AES encryption with optimized features that deliver improved security protection alongside reduced computational expenses. Security standards must remain unaltered when the main goal is to create encryption and decryption solutions with superior latency rates. The system incorporates an optimized AES framework which the designers implemented in Verilog for testing purposes using a Vivado FPGA platform. The proposed system provides enhanced security through comparison analysis that led to lower processing times reaching 6.5 ns for encryption and 4.2 ms for image encryption. The obtained results demonstrate superior ecological efficiency in addition to high-security standards that match existing approaches for constrained resource environments. The presented work adds value to hardware design practices for cryptography by providing AES with enhanced efficiency and security features.
