Data is one of the most relevant and important term from the ancient Greek age to modern science and business. The amount of data and use of data transformation for organizational work is increasing. So, for the sake of security and to avoid data loss and unauthorized access of data we have designed an image Steganographic algorithm implementing both Cryptography and Steganography. This algorithm imposed a cipher text within a cover image to conceal the existence of the cipher text and the stego-image is transferred from sender to intended receiver by invoking a distributed connection among them to achieve the data authenticity.

Abstract


Data is one of the most relevant and important term from the ancient Greek age to modern science and business. The amount of data and use of data transformation for organizational work is increasing. So, for the sake of security and to avoid data loss and unauthorized access of data we have designed an image Steganographic algorithm implementing both Cryptography and Steganography. This algorithm imposed a cipher text within a cover image to conceal the existence of the cipher text and the stego-image is transferred from sender to intended receiver by invoking a distributed connection among them to achieve the data authenticity.
