Implementation of combined steganography and cryptography vigenere cipher, caesar cipher and converting periodic tables for securing secret message

Abstract

The development of the communication technology era has made it easier in the process of exchanging information from various parties. However, not all of the information provided can be used by many parties. Sometimes the information is intended for partial purposes only or is confidential. So, it is necessary to process information security. Several ways can be used such as cryptography. This method is used to encrypt messages or information. Methods that can be used in cryptography include vigenere cipher and caesar cipher methods. Both of these methods use the technique of replacing each original character with a character or letter. Substitution is based on keywords or character position shift command. However, this method is quite easy to solve by using the Brute Force method and the frequency of letters that often appear. Based on this problem, it is necessary to modify or combine it so that it is more difficult to crack. This research describes the combination of the vigenere cipher and the caesar cipher methods. The two methods were then converted to the names of the chemical elements in the periodic table. Furthermore, the steganography process is carried out as a place to insert messages or information. From this process, it is expected that the encryption results will be more difficult to crack

“…They also analyzed the data hiding technique using image performance parameters such as entropy, mean and standard deviation. Hammad et al [12] proposed a combination of Vigenère and Ceaser Cipher methods. The ciphertext obtained in the proposed method is converted to the names of chemical elements in the periodic table.…”
