Abstract: The proposed invention, titled " OctaCrypt: A Secure Image-Based Framework for Seed Phrase Protection and Recovery," relates to an intelligent and automated system that utilizes symmetric encryption combined with octal-based text-to-image transformation to secure, store, and recover cryptocurrency wallet credentials. These credentials, being critical to cryptographic key generation, are highly vulnerable to theft, accidental disclosure, and loss, which can result in irreversible compromise or forfeiture of digital assets. Traditional storage methods, such as plaintext backups or unencrypted digital notes, are insecure, inconsistent, and prone to unauthorized access. The invention addresses these challenges by introducing a hybrid encryption encoding framework that performs secure, verifiable, and visually concealed protection of sensitive textual credentials. The system accepts an input seed phrase and applies a symmetric block-cipher encryption algorithm, such as the Advanced Encryption Standard, to convert it into ciphertext. The encrypted output is then transformed into an octal representation using values ranging from zero to seven, which are subsequently mapped to pixel color intensities to generate a scrambled image. Additional non-informative data is deliberately introduced during this process to obscure statistical patterns and enhance resistance to frequency-based cryptanalysis. The system continuously supports verification and integrity checking during decryption, ensuring accurate reconstruction of the original seed phrase from the encoded image. The invention also integrates a user interface that allows encryption, decryption, image download, and text recovery in real time. By automating the encryption and visual encoding of seed phrases, the proposed system eliminates the risks of plaintext exposure and enables consistent, secure handling of cryptographic credentials across storage and transmission channels. It can be deployed in cryptocurrency wallets, digital asset custody platforms, secure backup applications, and personal data protection systems.
