In the world today, data encryption is essential to maintain privacy. We propose a technique in which the color table is used to generate a picture carrier, the carrier image is added to the original image. The encrypted image obtained is unclear and can’t be seen. To make it even more secure model SCAN pattern is used to blend the pixels of the image. The resulting image is decrypted using the inverse of the scan pattern. Thus the carrier image and original image is obtained at the output.

Picture Carrier, SCAN Pattern

A combined and effective method has been proposed in this paper for image encryption using carrier image and SCAN-mapping method. This paper has presented a concept of combination of nibble value of a characters is used as a mapping function to generate carrier image ,merging of carrier image and original image generate level 1 encryption . Applying scan patterns on level 1 encryption gives double layer protection to secretly send original image.
