This paper demonstrates new methodology to improve security and avoid data overlapping between patients records which are defined as Electronic Patient Records (EPR), a combination of digital watermarking techniques and cryptography are used to ensure the non-separation of EPR and medical images during communications within open networks. The EPR data is encrypted, by a symmetric key algorithm based on an Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem (ECC), and inserted in liberated zone of the Least Significant Bit plan (LSB) of the medical image by compressing the original one using the Huffman coding. The proposed method improves security issues and reduces the computation cost related to data encryption and decryption.

Cloud Computing has made it possible to provide individuals as well as organizations with a utility that is costeffective. It empowers businesses by delivering these services using the internet. Files can be shared through the cloud. These files may contain sensitive information that needs to be kept hidden from anonymous users. This is done using cryptographic algorithms. High level of security can be provided using hybrid cryptography to encrypt the data. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) are the symmetric key encryption algorithms used to secure. An asymmetric key encryption algorithm, Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) helps in providing a hybrid cryptography model. The security of the key generated can be further enhanced using image steganography method Least Significant Bit (LSB). These issues regarding the security and its challenges will be addressed in this paper and also analyse the measures to handle it.

Lsb Technique

Steganography is one of the cryptography techniques where secret information can be hidden through multimedia files such as images and videos. Steganography can offer a way of exchanging secret and encrypted information in an untypical mechanism where communicating parties can only interpret the secret message. The literature has shown a great interest in the least significant bit (LSB) technique which aims at embedding the secret message bits into the most insignificant bits of the image pixels. Although LSB showed a stable performance of image steganography yet, many works should be done on the message part. This paper aims to propose a combination of LSB and Deflate compression algorithm for image steganography. The proposed Deflate algorithm utilized both LZ77 and Huffman coding. After compressing the message text, LSB has been applied to embed the text within the cover image. Using benchmark images, the proposed method demonstrated an outperformance over the state of the art. This can proof the efficacy of using Deflate as a data compression prior to the LSB embedding.

<p>ABSTRAK <br /> <br />Keamanan dalam menyampaikan pesan rahasia merupakan faktor penting dalam penyebaran informasi di dunia maya. Melindungi supaya pesan yang akan dikirimkan sampai kepada pihak yang berhak, perlu dibuat sebuah mekanisme penyembunyian pesan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menyembunyikan pesan berupa teks rahasia ke dalam citra digital true colour 24 bit dalam format RGB. Metode yang digunakan untuk menyisipkan pesan rahasia menggunakan metode LSB (Least Significant Bit) dengan mengganti bit terakhir atau bit ke-8 dalam setiap komponen warna RGB. <br />Pilihan jenis file citra RGB dengan pertimbangan kapasitas pesan yang dapat disisipkan lebih besar dibandingkan jika menggunakan citra grayscale, hal ini dikarenakan dalam 1 pixel dapat disisipkan 3 buah bit pesan. Ujicoba yang dilakukan memberikan hasil bahwa pesan yang disembunyikan ke dalam citra digital tidak mengurangi kualitas citra digital secara signifikan, dan pesan yang telah <br />disembunyikan dapat diekstrak kembali, sehingga pesan yang dikirimkan dapat sampai dengan aman kepada penerima.</p>

Lsb Substitution

<p>With the intrusion of internet into the lives of every household and terabytes of data being transmitted over the internet on daily basis, the protection of content being transmitted over the internet has become an extremely serious concern. Various measures and methods are being researched and devised everyday to ensure content protection of digital media. To address this issue of content protection, this paper proposes an RGB image steganography based on sixteen-pixel differencing with n-bit Least Significant Bit (LSB) substitution. The proposed technique provides higher embedding capacity without sacrificing the imperceptibility of the host data. The image is divided into 4×4 non overlapping blocks and in each block the average difference value is calculated. Based on this value the block is classified to fall into one of four levels such as, lower, lower-middle, higher-middle and higher. If block belongs to lower level then 2-bit LSB substitution is used in it. Similarly, for lower-middle, higher-middle and higher level blocks 3, 4, and 5 bit LSB substitution is used. In our proposed method there is no need of pixel value readjustment for minimizing distortion. The experimental results show that stego-images are imperceptible and have huge hiding capacity.</p>
