Security Enhancement using a modified AES algorithm
R. Bala, N. P. Gopalan · 2016
Security is an important issue for storing data and communicating it over Internet. Secret and private information is also being carried out through the Internet. This common usage of the Internet provides excellent platforms for online communications. Internet has also become an active platform for hackers and crackers. A challenge of experts is to develop systems to ensure protection of the data sent through the Internet. Here, we propose an innovative approach for enhancing security to conceal message using CrypticSteganography by integrating cryptography and Steganography to provide confidential communication. Cryptography and Steganography are different in their way of approach towards securing data, but yet seems to provide unify security solutions when it comes to protecting confidential data. Cryptography makes the information unintelligible whereas Steganography ensures that no clue to finding information exists. In cryptography we used modified AES algorithm to encrypt data and in steganography we implemented reversible texture synthesis to hide the data.
