Enhanced network security using text to image encoding

In this paper, text to image encoding as a means to enhance a network's security using MATLAB tool is discussed. As the network grows bigger and bigger security is the key issue coming in to the picture. Current encoding techniques require lots of complicated algorithms a long with dedicated hardware as well as software support. With the help of this approach a ciphered image is created with comparatively less hardware and software support. Images are generally supported as well as compatible to any network. With help of image creating tool a text is converted its number equivalent value then that number represents the greyscale value of one pixel in the image. The overall paper emphasizes on a compressed way of data communication without compromising on security of the information in the network.
