“…Bansod et al [22] proposed a steganography scheme using hybrid cryptography. This method is based on the use of the DES and RSA algorithms to achieve secret-message encryption, which increases the difficulty of cracking secret messages.…”

“…Some works [4,10,20,[22][23][24] may have performed well in the cyberdomain, but their secret messages are difficult to extract in the physical domain in the case of physical distortion. For example, when an image is displayed or printed, the image may not actually be able to be displayed due to the device's own factors (for example, display resolution and rendering, and printer printing effect).…”

“…In this experiment, we demonstrate that EasyStego can cross from the cyberdomain to the physical domain. Additionally, we also tested the cross-domain capabilities of other steganography schemes [4,10,[13][14][15]20,[22][23][24] to illustrate their differences with EasyStego. Figure 2 illustrates a set of samples of the secret embedding procedure.…”

Despite greater attention being paid to sensitive-information leakage in the cyberdomain, the sensitive-information problem of the physical domain remains neglected. Anonymous users can easily access the sensitive information of other users, such as transaction information, health status, and addresses, without any advanced technologies. Ideally, secret messages should be protected not only in the cyberdomain but also in the complex physical domain. However, popular steganography schemes only work in the traditional cyberdomain and are useless when physical distortions of messages are unavoidable. This paper first defines the concept of cross-domain steganography, and then proposes EasyStego, a novel cross-domain steganography scheme. EasyStego is based on the use of QR barcodes as carriers; therefore, it is robust to physical distortions in the complex physical domain. Moreover, EasyStego has a large capacity for embeddable secrets and strong scalability in various scenarios. EasyStego uses an AES encryption algorithm to control the permissions of secret messages, which is more effective in reducing the possibility of sensitive-information leakage. Experiments show that EasyStego has perfect robustness and good efficiency. Compared with the best current steganography scheme based on barcodes, EasyStego has greater steganographic capacity and less impact on barcode data. In robustness tests, EasyStego successfully extracts secret messages at different angles and distances. In the case of adding natural textures and importing quantitative error bits, other related steganography techniques fail, whereas EasyStego can extract secret messages with a success rate of nearly 100%.

“…A combination of both provided a more secured control. The suggested algorithm was modified BPCS (Bit Plane Complexity Segmentation) steganography technique that can replace all the "noise-like" regions in all the bit-planes of the cover image with secret data without deteriorating the image quality [9]. There exist other forms of approaches such as [10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

Identity management is crucial in cyberspace where infringement of one's privacy, copy right disputes, theft and other malicious activities are very rampant. There exists a need of ownership identification and authentication of digital images. In solving and contributing to this field, we proposed a cryptographic and watermarking encryption technique for securing and authentication of digital images for identity management. In our approach, we encrypt the data to be embedded into the image before embedding it to the image. We make sure we select a random position in the image based on an embedding key. We make sure the message to be embedded was converted into values that falls in between 0-255. This is to avoid it being detected using forensic or steganalytic software.

With the increase in structural complexities in modern cities, many operations, be they military, police, fire service, intelligence, rescue, or other field operations, require localization services and online situation awareness to make them effective. The digital data collected from such systems are sensitive hence security concerns regarding the transmission of such digital data across secured and unsecured communication channels needs to be secured. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid cryptographic encryption technique for securing Surveillance digital images data in Mobile Urban Situation Awareness System using RSA public-key encryption cryptosystem and RGB pixel displacement. The implementation was done using MATLAB simulation software.
