Securing Data in Image using Secure Hash Algorithm and Elliptic Curve Cryptography

In the digital age, securing sensitive information embedded in images is critical. This paper explores the application of Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for enhancing image data security. By integrating SHA for hashing and ECC for encryption, we ensure both the integrity and confidentiality of the data. The proposed method provides a robust mechanism for secure image transmission and storage, addressing vulnerabilities in conventional systems. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in minimizing computational overhead while maximizing security.
