Symmetric Key Generation Method using Digital Image
In this paper, the authors propose a new key generation algorithm based on using a binary image. The proposed algorithm converts 1616 binary array representing the digital image into 44 array, then it converts the new generated array into 44 decimal array. The decimal array and the left diagonal of the original array are then used to generate the public key that is used to encrypt the data to be sent for the receiver. The proposed algorithm is also used in the receiver side to generate the private key used to decrypt the encrypted data.
Keywords: Cryptography, Public Key, Private Key, Key Generation, Symmetric, Asymmetric.
