Enhancing RSA image encryption performance with multi-threaded parallel processing
Abstract
With the growing need for secure image transmission online, efficient encryption methods are essential. Existing RSA-based image encryption techniques often suffer from high computational delays due to sequential pixel processing. To address this, we propose a parallelized RSA encryption/decryption program that utilizes multi-threading for concurrent execution. By dividing the workload across threads and supporting multi-processor environments. Our solution achieves significantly faster processing times compared to conventional approaches.
