TripleACrypt: Cryptography and Steganography for the Preservation of Ancient Discoveries
“Steganocryptic Repositories” is an idea that incorporates cryptographic techniques with steganographic ones to preserve India's manuscript heritage in the digital age. Ancient manuscripts are encrypted with the AES technique, guaranteeing their security. An additional degree of protection is added by using the RSA technique to encrypt the key used in the AES encryption process. Additionally, this combination requires encoding the colors of high-resolution digital scans with the RSA encryption key including the encrypted manuscript, which is accomplished by hiding detailed metadata related to the manuscripts using the Least Significant Bit (LSB) approach. Use of Streamlit and ngrok allow for safe and easy to use frontend for the application. While Streamlit creates an interactive Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the application, ngrok ensures secure access to it. This method preserves and makes available the vast cultural knowledge contained in India's manuscripts by giving researchers and scholars access to decryption keys, ensuring secure access. This also preserves and reveals the mysteries of India's literary and historical heritage for the benefit of future generations.
