{kr systems} Mr. Page’s project involving the encryption of digital images was a continuation of his project last year with significant advances.  In last year’s Science Fair, Mr. Page explored theoretical models of potential ways to encrypt a digital image by scrambling the pixel matrices.  Since then, he has taken a course in Microsoft Visual Basic and wrote code to prove his theory.  This year he brought a laptop to the fair with a working example of how his code will encrypt and decrypt a digital image with a unique randomly generated encryption key.
