IMAGE ENCRYPTION AND DECRYPTION USING BLOWFISH ALGORITHM IN MATLAB

With the progress in data exchange by electronic system, the need of information security has become a necessity. Due to growth of multimedia application, security becomes an important issue of communication and storage of images. This paper is about encryption and decryption of images using a secret-key block cipher called 64-bits Blowfish designed to increase security and to improve performance. This algorithm will be used as a variable key size up to 448 bits. It employs Feistel network which iterates simple function 16 times. The blowfish algorithm is safe against unauthorized attack and runs faster than the popular existing algorithms. The proposed algorithm is designed and realized using MATLAB.
