Image Steganography Based on Chaos Function and Randomize Function

Abstract

The exchange of data is not limited to personal text information or information about institutions and governments, but includes digital media transferred via the Internet including everything, whether texts, images or videos and audio, or animation. These media need high-security protection and high speed during its transmission from one site to another. In this study, a new method is suggested for hiding a gray-level image within a larger color image based on the proposed steganography map that merged chaotic function and randomize function. The size of the chaos and randomize functions is 16 bytes. Experimental results obtained a successful method based on mean squared error, signal-to-noise ratio, peak signal noise rate, embedding capacity, entropy, and histogram. This method can rapidly hide and extract ciphertext in and from the gray image. The original image and the stego image are difficult to distinguish because the correlation between them is very close to 1, indicating that attackers cannot easily differentiate these images with the naked eye. This condition can successfully hide information on the Internet.

Future Trends in Cybersecurity: Exploring Emerging Technologies and Strategies

“…They are consistently enhancing these tactics and broadening their capacity to recognize and understand electronic threats. Cyberattacks are deliberate and harmful actions aimed at computer systems, networks, and devices via the Internet to compromise or harm sensitive information [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Unauthorized individuals are attracted to computer systems due to the valuable information they hold.…”

Exploring the Top Five Evolving Threats in Cybersecurity: An In-Depth Overview

“…They are continually seeking to develop these strategies and make them more effective and able to know the behaviour of electronic attacks. Cyberattacks can be described as malicious activities that target computer systems, networks, and devices over the Internet, intending to endanger or damage sensitive information [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Computer systems are among the most desirable systems to be controlled by unauthorized persons because the information included within these systems is very necessary to them [21].…”

The Development of a Deep Learning Model for Predicting Stock Prices

“…To anticipate future stock prices, deep learning algorithms for forecasting stock prices examine previous price changes, market trends, and other financial data [8][9]. models are capable of addressing the inherent risk and unpredictability of a stock market because they can handle largescale datasets, capture complicated nonlinear relationships, and adaptively acquire information from the data [10][11][12].…”
