Abstract
Geographic Information System (GIS) plays a vital role in many applications especially in military operations as they need to be spatial in nature. Successful application of military operations demands for accuracy of information and quick decisions taking steps. GIS has now become the most powerful medium for sharing of military information to officers and commanders. In the era of digital communication, officers use GIS to deliver their strategic plans to intended officers [5]. GIS has proven to be an excellent tool for enforcement and deployment of security mechanisms in military applications and to deliver confidential information at distant locations. In our proposed system, we will introduce a new mechanism to protect GIS data carrying confidential and sensitive data for military and army purpose by combining two of the cryptography algorithms: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and RSA with digital watermarking techniques.
