A Secure Message Encoding & Decoding Method Using Images

Secure and reliable information transfer is very important in present scenario. Hackers steal the messages by launching plenty of security attacks and make the entire information system unreliable. In the present communication, a text encoding/decoding method is proposed which can be very useful for transmitting messages in a secure and reliable manner. A user can encode any text message (which is to be transmitted) into an image and forward it to the recipient. On their end, the recipient can interpret it, enabling communication in this manner keeping the message hidden to the hackers. The proposed method is effective and easy to implement in day-to-day data communication.
