“…Table 3 showing the PSNR and CC results demonstrates that the proposed approach can extract the hidden image with little to no noise. This can be observed by lower PSNR and CC values in contrast with other systems [3,39]. In Table 4, the NPCR and UACI results of the proposed approach are compared with those of previous schemes [21,36,40].…”

“…During the first phase, a combination of Boolean matrices, ShareR1, ShareG1, ShareB1 and ShareR2, ShareG2, and ShareB2, for each color channel is produced. Having the same proportions between each share and the hidden image, each share's pixel is calculated based on the probability of color levels determined by a probability solution in HHO [3]. As shown in Figure 5, the encrypted images look like disordered images.…”

“…However, recently, the focus has been on making this process as safe as possible. Data privacy is protected in modern transmission channels primarily through steganography [2] and visual cryptography [3,4]. Visual cryptography (VC) is one of the most widely used image-based encryption techniques because it is effortless, efficient, and secure [5].…”

Hundreds of millions of people worldwide use computing devices and services, including smartphones, laptops, and messaging apps. Visual cryptography (VC) is one of the most secure encryption methods for image encryption in many applications, such as voting security, online transaction security, and privacy protection. An essential step in VC is encrypting secret images into multiple digital shares to hide them with the intention of successfully reverting them to their original form. Hence, a single share cannot reveal information about the secret image. Issues including pixel enlargement, high processing costs, and low decryption quality influence the current state of VC. We address these issues by introducing a novel technique based on (2, 2) secret sharing and the algorithm of Harris hawks optimization (HHO) for color photos. For the encryption process, the appropriate color levels are determined using the HHO algorithm. Consequently, images are decrypted with improved quality and a small impact on the overall processing complexity. The suggested scheme is also non-expandable due to the equal size of the initial secret image and the shared images. This results in lower memory requirements and improved image quality. The approach is applied to a set of well-known benchmark images. Moreover, a set of standard metrics is used to assess the robustness of the proposed scheme, including its capability in defending against cryptanalytic attacks, a correlation, a histogram, and the quality of encryption. According to the findings, the proposed solution provides better reconstructed image quality, time-efficient encryption, and nearly optimal statistical properties compared to previous approaches.

The proposed visions for the sixth generation wireless communications network indicate that it will have the ability to transmit massive amounts of data in a very short time. These visions require the sixth-generation network to have a high level of security. This paper focuses on the confidentiality and privacy of data on the sixth-generation wireless communications network. The paper provides a comparison between two techniques of data hiding and showing that may be used with modern security technologies in sixth-generation networks, namely LSBsteganography and SVD watermarking.This comparison between the two technologies is to determine the strength and reliability of each technology in hiding and showing data without affecting it during transmission over the network. This paper provides the comparison by implementing some simulation experiments using these technologies on different types of data such as images, numerical data, and text messages. The simulation results showed the strength and reliability of each technology in hiding and showing data, as well as the impact of each technology on the transmitted data and whether it caused any loss or not.
