Color Images encryption by using Bit Plane Crypt Algorithm

Image Encryption method is used to provide security and privacy in various applications, by using the process of a model to change initial format of an image (plaintext), into other formats like cipher text, unreadable format or in encrypted form. In this paper, the method of lossless encryption for color images using binary key images has been put forwarded and in this process, key image size and original image size are same. It is either an edge map or a bit plane generated from another image.
