In modern world, security is a big issue and
securing important data is hence very essential, so that the data
cannot be intercepted or misused for illegal purposes.
Cryptography is the art or science of encompassing the
principles and methods of transforming an intelligible message
into that is unintelligible and then retransforming that message
back to its original form. Image trafficking across the network is
increasing rapidly. Security has become an inseparable issue in
digital image transport over the internet. The most widely used
and accepted technique for securing digital images is
cryptography and various encryption techniques which involves
permutation based encryption and visual encryption techniques
are summarized here.
