The digital era has made seamless sharing and keeping of media such as images on cloud platforms an integral part of our lives. Still, there is a big issue about user privacy and data security in these repositories. We have thus created a very strong system that is able to do image encryption and decryption so as to protect the privacy of users while at the same time making their pictures accessible. Our system uses hybrid encryption where we try to prevent even cloud service providers from accessing the original files hence ensuring that only the owner who has been authenticated through password based authentication can decrypt or access them. In this way, it allows maintaining high privacy standards without sacrificing user convenience. It starts with preparing photos for encryption so that they are kept safe during transmission and storage. When needed by a user, images are decrypted by our system and become available only to authorized users. Consequently, users can comfortably leave their private photo albums on cloud storage systems knowing too well that their friends cannot access them thereby increasing trust in using cloud services for storing sensitive information. The aim of this work is to increase user privacy and data security in cloud repositories through employing this encryption technique. The users are guaranteed that their private details are not exposed to others enabling them to use cloud storage efficiently without interfering with their privacy at all.
