Inspiration

Our inspiration was a cybersecurity guest speaker who highlighted the importance of privacy in the modern world. We were inspired to create a program that will help people keep their private and sensitive data away from hackers and prying eyes.

What it does

Our application encrypts a message into a user-chosen image. It then can decrypt the message at a later date. Through a random gen seed, it creates a strong encryption method that allows a user's sensitive information held safe. Not only is the encryption strong, anyone who comes across the image will not even know that there is an encrypted message inside.

How we built it

We built it by developing the encryption method, coding an encryptor, decryptor, and user interface within Python Tkinter.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into a lot of issues with deciding on the best encryption method. We also ran into issues with the integration of the various parts.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to have come up with an almost undetectable encryption method that can be decrypted by anyone in the world with our program. This ease of use and reliability is something that we spent a significant amount of time on and are proud to have completed.

What we learned

We learned how encryption works and how to manipulate images using python.

What's next for SECMAGE

We want to create a mobile app that will allow users to encrypt images on the go. This will allow users to send family members sensitive messages over text.
