AiS Challenge Team Abstract

Team Number: 26

School Name: Farmington High School

Area of Science: Computer Science

Project Title: The Sound of Encryption

     Our problem is we wish to encrypt data into a musical .midi file. The purpose of the project is to make steganography with images obsolete by replacing the images with actual music. It is our aim to be able to create an encrypted musical melody of simple data. We plan to research encryption, then the correlations between music and mathematics. We should be able to use the JavaSound API to create a simple program that will convert simple text into music. Then we will implement the encryption step before the text is translated into music.
