Abstract

Addressing plays vital role in the communication of wired and wireless network. We proposed masking of internet protocol (IP) address by using the image abstraction of the mobile user. Every image is with independent Gray scale values varying from image to image. User defined mask for image generates address providing authenticity to each user in the network. We simulated the 32-bit address generated from an image and inserted and tested through real world deployment using Matlab Simulink environment. This will provide secured addressing mechanism and will be used as a unique identity to access a network.
