A sentiment analysis module was made using Tweepy,NLTK and Python which predicts the sentimet value of the tweet either postive or negative value being 1 or 0.The module was first trained with 5000 sifferent tweets clasified as postive and negative and then tested on more than 2000 tweets.More than five clasifiers were used out of which the classifier with maximum confidence was used to predict the sentiment and Matplotlib was used to analyse the prediction of tweets(ML/NLP).

The purpose of this project is to first implement Color visual cryptography using substitution method which takes the plain text and converts it into cipher text by using ASCII values of the character and the key which is generated using the color channel selected and the color block size and then implement ECC which works on the principle that finding the discrete logarithm of a random elliptic curve element with respect to a publicly known base point is infeasible which is termed as ECCDLP.
