Crypto-Steganographic LSB-based System for AES-Encrypted Data
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 10
Abstract
The purpose of this work is to increase the level of concealment of information from unauthorized access by pre-encrypting and hiding it in multimedia files such as images. A crypto-steganographic information protection algorithm with LSB-method was implemented. The algorithm hides AES pre-encrypted confidential information in the form of text or images into target containing image files. This method uses the concept of data concealing in the least significant pixel bits of the target image files. The proposed method relies on the use of Diffie-Hellman public key exchange protocol for securely exchanging the stego-key used for LSB as well as the public key used for encrypting the secret information. The algorithm ensures that the visual quality of the image remains unchanged, with no distortions perceived by the human eye. The algorithm also complicates the detection of concealed information embedded in the target image with use of PRNG as an enhancement for LSB. The proposed system scheme achieved competitive results. On an average, the system achieved a Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of 96.3 dB and a Mean Square Error (MSE) of 0.00408. The results obtained demonstrate that the proposed system offers high payload capabilities with immunity against visual degradation of resultant stego images.
