I had an idea for a key system using graphics files. Has that been tried before? The basic idea was to use a graphics file with a color depth of 24-bit or higher. Then, using the rgb values of, say, every prime pixel
What are you trying to accomplish? Having a non-obvious place to store passwords? After all, your suggestion is really equivalent to a bunch of numbers stored in a file. What has usefully been done is to take numbers and hide them as low-order bits in a graphic file, with various implementations getting fancy about either just sticking them there or looking at the palette values from the picture and finding something visually better matching.
