Abstract -
Cryptography problem is a key exchange between users securely, where no one else can obtain a copy. One proposed solution is CryptoBI “A Novel Cryptography Method Based on image for Key Generation” algorithm that prevents the attacks and avoids key exchanges between the two sides of communication by creating the key in home on the sender/receiver machine using RGB image. In this paper, we applied the CryptoBI algorithm and created a prototype for a specific scenario to measureits strength against the cryptanalysis, and to measure its efficiency against well-known symmetric cryptographic algorithms.The experiment results showed that the CryptoBI had higher data rate than AES, Rijndael, DES, 3DES, RC2 and RC6, but less than the Blowfish algorithm.In addition, the experiment results showed that the CryptoBI algorithm was weak against the cryptanalysis attack because it can be broken withinminutes when the CryptoBI images database is known to the attacker.
