A Survey on Security Mechanism using Colors and Armstrong Numbers

In today's tech-savvy world, electronic media is a basic necessity. Modern ways of communication have replaced the simplest of tasks. As the growing computer use implies a need for automated tools for protecting files and other information. The use of networks and communications facilities for carrying data between users and computers is also growing. Network security measures are needed to protect data during transmission, hence data security is very important. In this paper we analyze different techniques of cryptography to secure the data at the time of transmission and along with newly discovered cryptography algorithm that provides more security in data transmission.
