Availability of digital media has recently increased exponentially due to the internet. Media is transferred via the internet at rates which were previously unheard of. While this decreases the time and man power required to complete a transaction, it also allows files to be illegally distributed at the same rate. This thesis paper covers the topic of Encryption and its application to audio files. Encryption has become crucial in online transactions due to the increase in both sales of digital media as well as an individuals ability to illegally obtain and distribute this media. This paper will offer an alternative algorithm for performing audio file encryption that can also be applied to securely encrypt other media such as video, picture and text files.
