File Concealment using the Paillier Method and RGB Intensity Based Steganography
Steganography is related to the addition of information to a given medium (referred to as cover media) without making visible changes to it. Most of the proposed steganography techniques cannot be applied to store large-scale data. In the new technique for RGB image steganography, color intensity (R-G-B) is used to determine the number of bits you want to store in each pixel. Meanwhile, to improve the security of stored confidential files, cryptographic methods will be applied. The Paillier cryptosystem invented by Pascal Paillier in 1999 is a probabilistic asymmetric algorithm for public key cryptography. The security of the Paillier algorithm depends on the problem of calculating the n-residue class that is believed to be very difficult to compute. This problem is known as the Composite Residuosity (CR) and is the basis of this Paillier cryptosystem. The software created can save secret files into a digital image into a stego image. The secret file can be extracted out through the extraction process.
