Compression in Communication Security using Huffman Encoding and Cipher Block Chaining

In virtually every communication system, security is the most significant concern. To protect incoming and outgoing information, communication media such as social media today must apply different types of cryptographic algorithms. But adding security is also one of the overhead for the communication. Thus to improve the performance of the network, it is imperative to reduce the size of the data and at the same time ensure the security. This work involves emulating an amalgam of security and compression scenarios using Huffman Encoding for compression and CBC (Cipher Block Chaining) for security. An addition to these is the visualization of the Huffman Tree that is done using JavaScript.
