Encrypting and Decrypting Images Using BlowFish

Blowfish is a symmetric-key block cipher, designed in 1993 by Bruce Schneier and included in a large number of cipher suites and encryption products.
For more information, refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowfish_(cipher)

To Encrypt and Desrypt Images , follow following steps

Encrypting and Decrypting Images Using BlowFish :
1. Create SecretKey which will be used for Encryption
SecretKey secretKey = new SecretKeySpec(password.getBytes(), "Blowfish");

2. Create Cipher Instance
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("Blowfish");

3. To Encrypt, Initialize Cipher using secretKey
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, secretKey);

RSA Public Key Encryption and Private Key Decryption using Java

In Previous Post, I have discussed about What is Cryptography, What are Types of it and How we can encrypt and decrypt data using DES Algorithm in Java

Asymmetric Cryptography :

• Here, We share Public Key with others so they can encrypt data using Public Key
• We can only decrypt data using Private Key associated with Public Key. Private key is secret one and we don't share with anyone.
• Most common used algorithm is RSA ALGORITHM. named after Rivest,Shamir and Adleman

Data Encryption Decryption using DES Algorithm in Java

Encryption is process of converting plan text to cypher text using encryption algorithm and encryption Key.
Decryption is reverse process of encryption which recover original data from encrypted data using decryption key.

Here, One should understood Cryptography concept before moving into encryption and description world. It's basically making communication private - Protect Sensitive Information. Refer to wiki for more details.

Types of Cryptography :

1. Symmetric
2. ASymmetric
