Abstract
We live in a digital era in which communication is largely based on the exchange of digital information on data networks Introduction
We live in a digital era in which the way we communicate has dramatically changed. We can communicate digital files at any time, on any device Data Compression and Cryptography
Today the way we communicate has dramatically changed. We communicate digitally and we aim to have an efficient and secure communication Text and One-Dimensional Digital Data
One-dimensional data, for example, textual data, programs, and object codes, are generally lossless coded because the end user Images and Two-Dimensional Digital Data
Two-dimensional data, i.e., digital images, are generally lossy coded because the human end user is not capable of noticing small pixel errors Video and Three-Dimensional Digital Data
Digital video is an example of three-dimensional data Conclusions and Future Research
We live in a digital era in which the way we communicate has dramatically changed. We can communicate digital files at any time, on any device Acknowledgments
