System and method for hashing a data string using an image

Abstract:

Hashing data using an image by performing a bit by bit concatenation of input text and hash key. The result is concatenated bit by bit with the salt. A two bit by two bit multiplication between the result and the reverse of the result is performed to get a next output. The bits of this output are used as coordinates to extract pixel and RGB values from an image. The extracted values are merged to form a string. The string is truncated to a desired length, and then split into two equal strings. A bit by bit concatenation is performed on the split strings to get a hash output.
