With the widespread usage of the Internet, security takes precedence above anything else when transmitting data. This research proposed a hybrid encoding approach with watermark embedding that provides excellent security. Our novel strategy is based on cryptography, which allows it to recognize higher secrecy and efficiency. In this research, a hybrid method is used to support visual watermarking and cryptography to embed vital data. Our effort aims to improve the security of hidden facts embedded in the cover picture. The embedding and encryption of the watermark image into the cover image document were performed in two steps. To begin, two keys and an XOR bit operation were used to generate a large number of distinct keys for encryption. Second, a modified approach of the least significant bit (LSB) technique was adopted to hide a high-resolution watermark picture in the cover picture. The suggested second stage involved encrypting the cover image using the asymmetric key cryptography method (RSA), which provides additional secrecy during picture transmission. The original picture, the watermark photo, can be recovered and decoded using the permitted techniques. As a result, encoding and watermarking may be combined, giving the term "joint encoding and watermarking" legitimacy. Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and relationship aspects are greater with this method. For the implementation of hiding and encoding for the watermark and encoding the digital cover picture, MATLAB-GUI software was utilized. Experimental results demonstrated a good performance with a good correlation for all encrypted images and very high PSNR of the Stego images.

Least Significant Bits

Demand of information security is increasing day by day with the exponential growth of Internet. The content of message is kept secret in cryptography, where as steganography message is embedded into the cover image. In this paper a system is developed in which cryptography and steganography are used as integrated part along with newly developed enhanced security model. In cryptography the process of encryption is carried out using symmetric block ciphers with linear algebraic equation to encrypt a message [1] and the obtained cipher text is hidden in to the cover image which makes the system highly secured. Least Significant Bit (LSB) technique is used for message hiding which replaces the least significant Bits of pixel selected to the hide the information. A large number of commercial steganographic programs use LSB as the method of choice for message hiding in 24-bit,8bit-color images, and gray scale images. It is observed from the simulation study that both methods together enhance security significantly.

The paper presents two approaches for destroying steganogrphy content in an image. The first is the overwriting approach where a random data can be written again over steganographic images whereas the second approach is the denoising approach. With the second approach two kinds of destruction techniques have been adopted these are filtering and discrete wavelet techniques. These two approaches have been simulated and evaluated over two types of hiding techniques, Least Significant Bit LSB technique and Discrete Cosine Transform DCT technique. The results of the simulation show the capability of both approaches to destroy the hidden information without any alteration to the cover image except the denoising approach enhance the PSNR in any received image even without hidden information by an average of 4dB.

Security issues have become major problem in the field of data communications, specifically in the data transmission through the internet. One of the solutions is to hide the messages through a digital media so the attention of the attacker or third party can be avoided, this method is known as steganography. In this research, we use images as digital media. We modify the Least Significant Bit (LSB) which is the most commonly used technique in steganography. Unfortunately LSB has poor security level since it is already widely known technique. Therefore, it is important to modify the algorithm of LSB to ensure its security aspect. An improvement to LSB technique is suggested by selecting only odd pixels and ignoring even pixels in the implementation of steganography. We successfully implement the modified LSB algorithm by using RBG image and grayscale image as steganography media. Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Peak Signal-to-noise Ratio (PSNR) are employed to evaluate the stego-image quality. Our calculations show that the modified LSB algorithm provides better results than the conventional LSB. The conventional LSB algorithm gives 1.98 10-5 for MSE and 95.20893 dB for PSNR calculations, while the modified LSB gives 1. 80 10-5 and 95.6101 dB for MSE and PSNR, respectively.

In this research work a novel idea of compressed, encrypted and encoded watermark embedding scheme for digital images is proposed. Initially watermark is compressed using Huffman encoder. Compressed watermark is encrypted using combined binary key sequence {Ki} derived from sequence of logistic map and Lozi map. The compressed and encrypted binary watermark is encoded using (n,1) repetition code. This compressed, encrypted and encoded binary watermark is embedded in alternate locations of cover image pixels using of Least Significant Bit (LSB) and Second Least Significant Bit (SLSB). To study the watermarked image quality, parameters such as Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE) are used.  Also performance of the proposed system is compared with uncompressed, encrypted, encoded watermark embedding scheme. There is a significant improvement in MSE, SNR of watermarked image, when compressed watermark embedding scheme is compared to uncompressed watermark embedding scheme.

Edge Detection Method

Information security is one of the most significant processes that must be taken into account when confidentially transferring information. This paper introduces a steganography technique using the edge detection method. It focused on three basic and important aspects’ payload, quality and security. Well-known edge detectors were used to generate as many edge pixels as possible to hide data and achieve the highest payload. The least significant bit (LSB) algorithm has been improved by extending the bits used to embed between 2-4 bits in smooth and sharp areas. To increase security, the transaction between the two parties is based on dividing the key and the cover image into several parts and agreeing on the type of edge detection.The experiments achieved the maximum load, for instance with a fuzzy edge detector, at first, embedding in 4 bitplanes if edge pixel and in 2 bitplanes if non-edge pixel, the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) increased from 43.580to 45.790. At second, embedding in 2 bitplanes if edge pixel, and in 4 bitplanes if non-edge pixel, the PSNR decreased between 38.433-41.593. The suggested scheme achieved a high pay load to embed in the cover image and according to human perception, it preserved the nature of the original image.

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.

Image steganography is the art of hiding data into an image by using the secret key. This paper presents two techniques that combine the most significant bit (MSB) as well as the least significant bit (LSB) based on a color image (24bit for RGB). The presented study proposes a novel method to combine (LSB and MSB) bits based on check MSB values and replace bits from LSB with a secret message. The result of this proposed method that made not affect quality stego -image based on the resulting histogram that shows a match between the cover image and stego- image and more secure because not hidden in all image. The factors were used Mean Square Error (MSE), Compute Payload, in addition to Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR). The PSNR’s rate is high and MSE is less. The result of this paper when applying on the different image gives high PSNR of 87.141 and less MSE of 0.00012 when inserting message 80 bits and reduction value PSNR of 72.023 and MSE of 0.0040 when inserting message 1200 bits and measure entropy is the same value for cover image and stego –image then this method is more security for the attacker.
