COMMUNICATION PROCESSES SECURITY USING VISUAL CRYPTOGRAPHY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of data encryption technologies with an emphasis on visual cryptography, which is a modern and promising method of ensuring information confidentiality. The main attention is paid to the analysis of information encryption existing methods and the solutions development that allow to ensure reliable communications protection. Visual cryptography, as one of the modern methods, is relevant due to the growing need for protecting confidential data in the face of increasing cybersecurity threats. The paper describes the basic principles of visual cryptography, its advantages and application practical possibilities in areas where information confidentiality is of crucial importance, such as state security, the military, financial institutions and healthcare systems. The visual cryptography advantages are described, which allows transmitting encrypted messages in the form of images that can be decrypted by physically superimposing parts. This expands the potential of the technology in the authentication context and access systems. In addition, the article contains a software tools description for implementing information encryption and decryption, as well as a detailed overview of the possibilities of using programming languages to solve such problems. Key encryption algorithms and methods are considered, assessing their effectiveness and implementation possibilities in real information protection systems. Thanks to the conducted research, various approaches to data protection were analyzed and the visual cryptography advantages compared to other methods were identified. The results of the study demonstrate the visual cryptography effectiveness as a information protection method, especially in cases where it is necessary to avoid dependence on complex digital technologies. Prospects for further research include the development of more advanced visual encryption algorithms, adaptive to different conditions of use, as well as the implementation of technology for protecting critical data in various industries.
