Encrypt and Decrypt Images Using Java

Hi, Most of you would find it useful to Encrypt a special picture of yours such that only you can view it. By using JCE(Java Cryptography Extension) classes, this becomes very simple.

If you are new to this, please read the article which I had already posted named "Java Encryption and Decryption" at "http://ruchiram4.blogspot.com/2009/04/java-encryption-and-decryption.html" Also, you need to have a basic understanding of Java IO. If you are new, it is better to read the Sun Java tutorial on IO. Before we move on, lets recall the basic steps in Encrypting plaintext. 1. Creating an instance of "Cipher" object and setting the mode of Encryption (Eg: AES, DES) 2. Generating a key by using a KeyGenerator object. 3. Setting the mode of Cipher operation on the Cipher object. As we intent to Encrypt, we simply set it by setting a property of Cipher object by calling its "init"...

Prerequisites : Java Programming capability, Knowledge on OOP(Object Oriented Programming) basics My Environment: I used the libraries specified for Java which is widely available. I ran my application on Windows XP only. But the libraries can be easily integrated with Linux based systems. I used NetBeans 6.1 version for development activities. But any other java IDE would do In setting up the environment, first you need to download Jpcap jar found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jpcap Once you download this, you have to add this to your NetBeans project. It can be done as follows. After adding the Jar file to the project, you need to download the WinPCap driver. It can be easily downloaded from http://www.winpcap.org/ It is required to get low level networking access regarding packets. As for ...
