I want to encrypt a image and then decrypt it. Is there any good references or tutorials or sample showing how to convert the image into a string then encrypt the string? Or there are other ways in encrypting the image? As I am a newbie to this and also I have went to search but there aren’t any easy examples for me to understand and also to follow.
If I’m not wrong, i have to use the FileInputstream, and the ImageIO, but i do not know how does it fully works. Anyone can guide me? thanks
An image is a binary file, so I don’t think it makes much sense to convert to a String for the purpose of encryption. This would add quite a bit of overhead and complexity for no additional benefit.
You should probably just encrypt the binary file directly.
