Enhancement of Security and Visual Quality in Image Steganography

Project Code :TCMAPY1316

Objective

The objective of this project is to investigate and implement a robust and secure method for image transmission through modern steganography techniques, utilizing encryption algorithms like AES, DES, RSA, and ChaCha20. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of different encryption methods while employing two steganography techniques, LSB and Spread Spectrum, and evaluate the security of the resulting images through metrics like PSNR, runtime, MSE, histogram, and information entropy. By examining these factors, the project seeks to provide valuable insights into the optimal use of steganography and encryption for secure image transmission, benefiting industries such as military and healthcare imaging applications.

Abstract

The use of modern steganography techniques for secure image transmission, utilizing four encryption algorithms: AES, DES, RSA, and ChaCha20. Two steganography techniques, LSB and Spread Spectrum, are used to encrypt and embed ciphertext into five different images. The security of the created images is evaluated using metrics such as PSNR, runtime, MSE, histogram, and information entropy. Our analysis reveals that DES is less effective than AES and ChaCha20 for encryption. Furthermore, Spread Spectrum outperforms LSB in terms of security, although LSB produces better stego-image quality. Combining different steganography and encryption techniques enhances the capacity to send photos with a high level of security and robustness. This study provides insightful knowledge on the effective use of steganography and encryption for secure image transmission in various industries, including military and healthcare imaging applications
