Use of Genetic Algorithm and Visual Cryptography for Data Hiding in image for Wireless Network
Yogita Patil · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2015
Steganography is method of data hiding behind multimedia file such as text, image, audio and video.For enhancing the security of data hiding and transmission over network, this paper proposed system which uses genetic algorithm along with Visual Cryptography.Plain text is converted into cipher text by using any cipher then it is hidden in LSB of image.Genetic Algorithm is used to shuffle pixel location of image so that detection of secret information become complex.Pixel locations are shuffled using Scan code algorithm.Visual cryptography is kind of encryption technique which divide secret image into multiple shares to ensure improved security and reliability.
