Color Encryption

I was thinking about a very good encryption method and i came up with the idea of having a small picture of 1X10 pixels that has 10 dots of some colors. ANd its very easy to make this.

form1.pset(X,Y), RGB(asc(character1),asc(character2,asc(character3)

this way you can encrypt a very big data into one picture because each pixel has 3 letters encrypted into it. It seems weird to me why there arent some encryption method like this. Imagine all the stuff you can then do to encrypt it so that anyone can ever know what the encrypted text is.


I even tried to do this, i made the encrpytion part, but when i used getpixel method and tried to divide the pixels back into characters it didnt quite work out.

There is an encryption method like that, it's an entire field actually, it's called steganography.

Actually that's not entirely accurate, steganography is defined as:

"Hiding a secret message within a larger one in such
a way that others can not discern the presence or contents of
the hidden message. For example, a message might be hidden
within an image by changing the least significant bits to
be the message bits."

But as you can see from this definition, hiding information in images is a classic example of steganography.

Incidentally your idea, although interesting, is not as good as other ideas out there, because the image that you create wouldn't actually look like anything. I imagine that it would just be a jumble of different colored pixels. The cool thing about steganography in images is that the images look like regular pictures, for instance, a picture of a sunset could contain subversive information.

Yep... and if you decode Bill Gates picture, it says "I am Satan and will One day take over the World!"
