Secure Data Hiding Technique using Secret Image Scrambling

This paper proposes a novel form of reversible data hiding using two marked images by employing the adaptive coefficient-shifting (ACS) algorithm. The proposed ACS algorithm consists of three parts: the minimum-preserved scheme, the minimum-preserved with squeezing scheme, and the base-value embedding scheme. More specifically, each input block of a host image can be encoded to two stego-blocks according to three predetermined rules by the above three schemes. Simulations validate that the proposed method not only completely recovers the host medium but also losslessly extracts the hidden message. The proposed method can handle various kinds of images without any occurrence of overflow/underflow. Moreover, the payload and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) performance of the proposed method is superior to that of the conventional invertible data hiding schemes. Furthermore, the number of shadows required by the proposed method is less than that required by the approaches which are based upon secret image sharing with reversible steganography.

Video Steganography is a strategy wherein we can conceal a wide range of documents with any extension into a carrying Video document. Right now, are utilizing two fundamental wording that is have host file and carrier file where host file is a hidden file (any sort of record like content document, picture document, and sound/video document) and carrier file must be a video record. The primary inspiration of this paper is to make sure about moving of information by utilizing steganography and cryptography system. It is worried about implanting data in a harmless spread media in a safe and hearty way. Right now expositions we are utilizing Forbidden Zone Data Hiding strategy where no modification is required in have signal range during information hidden procedure. To safely moving the information record, we use video information covering up and utilizing revision limit of rehash gather code with predominance of taboo zone information stowing away. Utilizing this methodology we can likewise stow away and move the enormous video record whose size is bigger than spread record in secure way. The principle favorable position of utilizing video record sequestered from everything data is the additional protection from of the outsider or unintended beneficiary because of the overall multifaceted nature of video contrasted with picture and sound document. I have effectively actualized the proposed system of video information hiding utilizing forbidden zone datahiding strategy (FZDH) on content document, picture record, sound record and video document. The exceptional element is that we can hide the bigger size video record behind the smaller size cover record.

The 8-queens problem of placing 8 non-attacking queens on an 8x8 chessboard is used to hide message in an image. The method helps in randomizing the bit selection in a cover image for hiding purpose. Cover image is divided into blocks of 8x1 bytes and then masked with solutions of the 8-queens problem. Bits from the block are collected corresponding to the 8-queen solution to make a 7 bit string. LSB of the block is not considered. It gives a number in the range of 0 to 127. If a bit string, corresponding to the 8-queens solutions, matches with ASCII code of the first character from message, the corresponding solution number of the 8-queens problem is encrypted using RC4, and the cipher is stored in first block of the cover. This encrypted value works as key. The solution number corresponding to next character is XORED with the key and the resultant value is embedded in the LSB of next block. The algorithm has been tested with cover of different image file formats like BMP, PNG and TIFF. The algorithm provides very good capacity, imperceptibility and robustness.
