Nowadays, data security becomes a big issue and a challenge when sending sensitive data through the Internet. For example; sending user password, performing money transaction (e-business) using a master card, and invoking methods on a remote PC. All these activities require a secure algorithm for protecting data from hackers and thus keep information private and save. There are various methods for securing data when they are sent through the global network. Some of these techniques are based on data encryption algorithms where the text message is encrypted (scrambled) to another form that is not readable by humans. One of the encryption techniques is based on the transformation of a text into an image. In this paper, we propose a simple and a novel data encryption algorithm based on encrypting a text into a white page image (White-Page Image Encryption Algorithm or the WPI algorithm). In this paper, the proposed White-Page Image Encryption Algorithm is tested and analyzed.
