Strong authentication using dynamic hashing and steganography

Abstract

Now a day's online services became part of our life which performs communication digitally. This digital communication needsconfidentiality and data integrity to protect from unauthorized use. Security can be provided by using two popular methods cryptography and steganography. Cryptography scrambles the message so that it cannot be understood, where as the steganography hides the message in another medium which cannot be detected by normal human eye.This paper introduces a technique which provides high security to the digital communication by using dynamic hashing for integrity and also embedding the data in image file using steganography to misguide attacker. There by providing high security for the communication between two parties.

The Impact of Information Security Processes on Providing Secure Digital Systems

“…The basic objective of authentication is to demonstrate the user's identity through authentication techniques such usernames and passwords, biometric data like fingerprint or facial recognition scans, and phone or text confirmations [14]. The procedure for identity authentication using a login and password (the most popular type of authentication) is as follows:…”

“…To access a system, single-factor authentication (SFA) or one-factor authentication utilizes a login and password. Although this is the most widely used and recognized type of authentication, it is regarded as having low security [14]. Single-factor authentication just offers one barrier, which is its fundamental flaw.…”
