Implementation of Embedding Algorithm for Data Hiding using Steganography Technique
- Abstract
Steganography is the art and science of hiding information that incorporates hidden content in cover media so that suspicious activities are not provoked by an eavesdropper. Steganography is different from cryptography in that cryptography focuses on keeping data secret while steganography focuses on keeping data secret. The approach is to implement a new steganography embedding technique that is simple and will be used for all media file formats such as image, audio and video. This embedding algorithm embeds the master image file size, type of encryption algorithm (DES or AES), compression ratio of secret file size, data of secret file size which is also encrypted using a secret key. The Deflate compression technique is also used to compressed secret file into the cover file. The proposed system maintains imperceptibility and data integrity property of steganography. The steganography tool is implemented and integrates types of steganography technique such as image, audio and video in one tool. The proposed method satisfies the reversibility property, imperceptibility, hidden capacity of data into cover image of steganography to reconstruct secret and cover images without any loss of information.
