Secure Image Backup System

Deepak Yadav, Vinay Maurya

Abstract


The primary reason for developing a backup system is to save files that are important. This is done so that in case if system crashes due to any reason such as hard drive failure or natural calamities, the files can be retrieved later easily. Security is one of the essential/crucial factors when it comes to data, as this data might contain confidential as well as important information. Hence, the backup systems must be secure. Encryption of data is one of the most used data security measures in today’s industry. This study describes about a computer software that stores backups of image files in an encrypted format easily and quickly in a secure manner which can be retrieved later. A simple user interface is provided, using which, user can upload and download the file; it also displays the thumbnail image of the file that is uploaded by the user. When the image is uploaded, the system applies the encryption algorithm on the image and encrypts it; then the image is stored in the database of the software system. When the user downloads the image again, the system automatically decrypts the image file and retrieves it for the user. The algorithm used for encryption and decryption of image files is Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. This study also describes how the system uses AES for encryption and decryption of image to make the backup software system more secure.
