Combined Steganography and Image Cryptography System for Secure Data Transfer

Abstract

With billions of active internet users every given moment, user data privacy is vulnerable to potential attackers, so secure digital transmissions have always been a concern. With numerous researches going on in the field of cryptography systems there is always search new methods that can improve security of data sent over the internet. In this project a model is being designed with integrated various cryptographic techniques to make a hybrid crypto system for more reliable secure digital transmission. This project incorporates plain text cryptography, image steganography, and visual cryptography to encrypt a text all the way through getting an image that is distorted with hidden data inside. The primary step is to convert the plain text to cipher text using a symmetric cryptography algorithm, then using the method of steganography the cipher text is hidden inside the image and finally the concept of image cryptography is used to get a cipher image with encryption keys that encrypted the same. This project is going to be developed to accept globally spoken English language.
