Re: Graphic encryption
Is there anything particular in graphic encryption? I usually encrypt graphics and document images as regular files with regular encryption...
I believe graphic encryption outputs a valid image file that is apparently white noise until you perform the decryption transformation on it. An obvious way to do this with a non-lossy file format is to encrypt pixel vales with a stream cipher. Another way to make the image unviewable would be to shuffle the pixels or rasters with a PRNG. andrew
Does anyone have patches to XV that allow it to display a PGP encrypted image without having to explicitly decrypt it first? -- Rick Busdiecker Please do not send electronic junk mail! net: rfb@lehman.com or rfb@cmu.edu PGP Public Key: 0xDBD9994D www: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/rfb/http/home.html send mail, subject "send index" for mailbot info, "send pgp key" gets my key A `hacker' is one who writes code.
