Pixcryption
Pixel Safe Encryption - Currently in Development
Goal
Pixcryption's goal is to offer a new form of steganography/encryption through imagery. It uses a random seeded UUID to generate a user_key which matches RGB perfect values to match to unicode characters. These are stored in a user_key.png file which is used to encrypt and decrypt messages. The speed is getting there but there is 100% room for improvement. I have been working on this for 2 months and BY NO MEANS IS THIS A SECURE SOLUTION YET. It has Pretty Good Security but I'm sure there are plenty of flaws to be found.

Requirements
- Python 3.6+
- Pillow
- Numpy
Usage
Inside of the core.lib module you will find all functions currently used in the project.
With these you can generate a user key, grab a key_list from a user key, and encrypt/decrypt messages. The implementation is pretty simple and you can take a look at test.py for an example.
This only encrypts unicode characters at the moment which makes it a good choice for messaging. The # of pixels in the image will be == to the # of characters in the string encrypted. This is one security flaw which we need to look into fixing.
