AB  - Symmetric key cryptography is the most
common cryptographic scheme which uses same key at
both sender and receiver side. The plus point of
symmetric key cryptography is its less computational cost
when compared to public-key cryptography. In this study,
a new symmetric key cryptography scheme is proposed.
Rather than using typical binary secret keys this scheme
uses images as secret key. Images are comprised of
pixels, this work is going to exploit that property of the
image. Every character in the message to be encrypted is
converted into its corresponding ASCII values and image
is scanned till a match is found. After a match is found the
pixel co-ordinates are taken and encrypted and are written
to a file. This file is transmitted to the receiver who
decrypts the co-ordinates and compare with image to get
the message.
