Data Security Using Cryptography and Steganography Techniques

Abstract

Although cryptography and steganography could be used to provide data security, each of them has a problem. Cryptography problem is that, the cipher text looks meaningless, so the attacker will interrupt the transmission or make more careful checks on the data from the sender to the receiver. Steganography problem is that once the presence of hidden information is revealed or even suspected, the message is become known. According to the work in this paper, a merged technique for data security has been proposed using Cryptography and Steganography techniques to improve the security of the information. Firstly, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm has been modified and used to encrypt the secret message. Secondly, the encrypted message has been hidden using method in [1]. Therefore, two levels of security have been provided using the proposed hybrid technique. In addition, the proposed technique provides high embedding capacity and high quality stego images.
