An Implementation of Text and Color Image Steganography Technique Using Cryptographic Algorithm

The craft of data stowing away has gotten much consideration in the ongoing years as security of data has turned into a major worry in this web time. As sharing of delicate data by means of a typical correspondence channel have become inevitable, Steganography techniques aimed at secretly hiding data in a multimedia carrier such as text, audio, image or video, without raising any suspicion of alteration to its contents. The original carrier is referred to as the cover object. In this paper, we proposed a mechanism of end user data security by means of image steganography technique using ECDH (Elliptic Curve Diffie–Hellman) algorithm for improving image quality while we hide data in image. Our proposed approach is simplified yet efficient algorithm that can be implemented for end user application that strictly enforces the data integrity over the communication channel. The performance of the proposed approach is measured in terms of time, memory, MSE and PSNR which was better improved from the previous approach in the similar parameters.

Hide Data

Steganography and cryptography are two major aspects of data security . In this paper we are going to provide the survey of different techniques of LSB based Steganography that used cryptography algorithms to secure sensitive information. Steganography is used to hide data and Cryptography is used to encrypt the data. Although cryptography and steganography individually can provide data security, every of them has a drawback. Drawback associated with Cryptography is that, the cipher text looks meaningless, so the unintended user can interrupt the transmission or make more careful checks on the information from the sender to the receiver. Drawback associated with Steganography is that when the presence of hidden information is revealed or even suspected, the message is become known[1].By combining these two methods we can solve both of the above problem. First we encrypt the data using any cryptography technique and then embed the encrypted text into the image. Steganography is the process which hides the presence of secure data during communication. On the other hand cryptography is encrypting and decrypting of secure data and information with a secrete key so that no one can be understand the message directly.

Color Image Steganography

In modern public communication networks, digital data is massively transmitted through the internet with a high risk of data piracy. Steganography is a technique used to transmit data without arousing suspicion of secret data existence. In this paper, a color image steganography technique is proposed in spatial domain. The cover image is segmented into non-overlapping blocks which are scattered among image size window using Burrows Wheeler transform before embedding. Secret data is embedded in each block according to its sequence in the Burrows Wheeler transform output. The hiding method is an operation of an exclusive-or between a virtual bit which is generated from the most significant bit and the least significant bits of the cover pixel. Results of the algorithm are analyzed according to its degradation of the output image and embedding capacity. The results are also compared with other existing methods.
