A Secure Color Image Steganography in Transform Domain ijcisjournal
Steganography is the art and science of covert communication. The secret information can be concealed in content such as image, audio, or video. This paper provides a novel image steganography technique to hide both image and key in color cover image using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT). There is no visual difference between the stego image and the cover image. The extracted image is also similar to the secret image. This is proved by the high PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio), value for both stego and extracted secret image. The results are compared with the results of similar techniques and it is found that the proposed technique is simple and gives better PSNR values than others.

SIGNIFICANCE OF RATIONAL 6TH ORDER DISTORTION MODEL IN THE FIELD OF MOBILE’S ...P singh
As the time passed, multiple techniques have been proposed on the invisible video watermarking. Watermarking basically means to hide the information into many multiple objects. If the object is video then the name given to this technique is video watermarking. The information which is hidden in the object and isn't seen by anyone then it is called as an invisible watermarking. In this paper, we are using the LSB, SS (Spread Spectrum) and DWT technique for embedding the information into the video and also work on the rational distortion. Today distortion is the biggest problem. This distortion can be destroyed the hide information. The reason of distortion is transmission channel, hackers, viruses etc. In my proposed work, we are working on the rational 6th order model distortion. We are finding the PSNR, SSIM (Structural similarity index measure), Correlation, BER (Bit Error Rate), MSE (Mean Square Error) parameters for the distorted watermarked video and also detects the watermark (hide) information from the distorted watermarked video.
PERCEPTUAL COPYRIGHT PROTECTION USING MULTIRESOLUTION WAVELET-BASED WATERMARK...gerogepatton
In this paper, an efficiently DWT-based watermarking technique is proposed to embed signatures in images to attest the owner identification and discourage the unauthorized copying. This paper deals with a fuzzy inference filter to choose the larger entropy of coefficients to embed watermarks. Unlike most previous watermarking frameworks which embedded watermarks in the larger coefficients of inner coarser subbands, the proposed technique is based on utilizing a context model and fuzzy inference filter by embedding watermarks in the larger-entropy coefficients of coarser DWT subbands. The proposed approaches allow us to embed adaptive casting degree of watermarks for transparency and robustness to the general image-processing attacks such as smoothing, sharpening, and JPEG compression. The approach has no need the original host image to extract watermarks. Our schemes have been shown to provide very good results in both image transparency and robustness.

A NOVEL PERCEPTUAL IMAGE ENCRYPTION SCHEME USING GEOMETRIC OBJECTS BASED KERNELijcsit
The wide use of digital images and videos in various applications warrant serious attention to the security and privacy issues today. Several encryption techniques have been proposed in recent years as feasible solutions to the protection of digital images and videos. In many applications, such as pay-per-view videos,pay-TV and video on demand, one of the required features is that the quality of the video data be degraded only partially by some encryption technique and the encrypted data must still be partially perceptible. This feature referred to as ‘Perceptual encryption’ is the encryption algorithm that degrades the quality of media content according to security or quality requirements. In this work we propose a simple yet efficient technique for realizing perceptual encryption using geometric objects as kernels based on which the pixels are permuted. Confusion aspect that is required is realized by inserting the kernel on the image and thereby performing transposition of pixels based on the kernel formed out of geometric objects. The various parameters of geometric objects, number of objects and the position of the objects/kernel in the image are used as the key for encryption and later on for decryption. Further a choice of quality of the image required i.e., different levels of degradation is provided by adjusting the above parameters of the objects/kernel.From the results obtained it is evident that the proposed method which is more apt for perceptual encryption can also be used effectively for full image encryption with acceptable level of security.
Steganography using Coefficient Replacement and Adaptive Scaling based on DTCWTCSCJournals
Steganography is an authenticated technique for maintaining secrecy of embedded data. Steganography provides hardness of detecting the hidden data and has a potential capacity to hide the existence of confidential data. In this paper, we propose a novel steganography using coefficient replacement and adaptive scaling based on Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT) technique. The DTCWT and LWT 2 is applied on cover image and payload respectively to convert spatial domain into transform domain. The HH sub band coefficients of cover image are replaced by the LL sub band coefficients of payload to generate intermediate stego object and the adaptive scaling factor is used to scale down intermediate stego object coefficient values to generate final stego object. The adaptive scaling factor is determined based on entropy of cover image. The security and the capacity of the proposed method are high compared to the existing algorithms.
Image Encryption Based on Pixel Permutation and Text Based Pixel Substitutionijsrd.com
Digital image Encryption techniques play a very important role to prevent image from unauthorized access. There are many types of methods available that can do Image Encryption, and the majority of them are scrambling algorithms based on pixel shuffling, which cannot change the histogram of an image. Hence, their security performances are not good. The encryption method that combines the pixel exchanging and gray level changing can handles reach a good chaotic effect. In this paper we focus on an image encryption technique based on pixel wise shuffling with the help of skew tent map and text based pixel substitution. The PSNR, NPCR and CC obtained by our technique shows that the proposed technique gives better result than the existing techniques.
Image Steganography Based On Non Linear Chaotic AlgorithmIJARIDEA Journal
Abstract— Late inquires about of picture steganography have been progressively in light of clamorous frameworks, yet the disadvantages of little key space and powerless security in one-dimensional disorderly cryptosystems are self-evident. This paper presents steganography with nonlinear riotous calculation (NCA) which utilizes control capacity and digression work rather than straight capacity. Its basic parameters are acquired by test examination. The message with the key is then consolidated with the cover picture utilizing LSB installing and discrete cosine change.
Keywords— Discrete Cosine Transform, LSB Embedding, Nonlinear Chaotic Algorithm, Steganography, Stego Image.
In this paper steganography is used to hide the data inside the images. Steganography is the science that involves
communicating secret data in an appropriate multimedia carrier, e.g., image, audio, and video files. The main goal of
steganography is to ensure that the transmitted message is completely masked, thereby ensuring that the message is accessible
only to the intended receiver and not to any intruders or unauthorized parties. This work focuses on the image steganography with
an image compression using least significant bit with Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) on FPGA Spartan III Evaluation
Development Kit (EDK). Current trends support digital image files as the cover file to hide another digital file with secret
message or data. At receiver side, using Inverse Discrete Wavelet transform, both original image as well as hidden data can be
successfully extracted.
A digital watermarking scheme based on integer wavelet transform and histogram techniques is
proposed in this paper. Lifting scheme based integer wavelet transform is used to provide ease of
transformation of compressed data and to increase the data embedding capacity. Also histogram technique
which is one of the reversible data hiding is used to embed the secret data into original image and retrieve the
original data back after extraction. The AES encryption is used to encrypt the embedded image to provide
authentication. This algorithm is developed using verilog code and implemented on FPGA Artix 7 board in
order to increase throughput, reduce area and power consumption.

Comparative Study on Watermarking & Image Encryption for Secure CommunicationIJTET Journal
Over the past decades, research in security has concentrated on the development of algorithms and protocols for authentication, encryption and integrity of data. Despite tremendous advances, several security problems still afflict system’s. In this android app watermarking and encryption is being applied on images and data. Because of the human visual system’s low sensitivity to small changes and the high flexibility of digital media, anyone can easily make small changes in digital data with low perceptibility. Here watermarking and encryption are being performed in wavelet domain. Here in watermarking, the coefficients of watermarks are being embedded with the coefficients of the original image. Encryption is being done in wavelet domain so that the probability of an intruder trying to access the contents is very much minimized. Thus, this model provides a high level of security.

Abstract :Multimedia data security is becoming important with the continuous increase of digital communications on internet. With the rapid development of various multimedia technologies, more and more multimedia data are generated and transmitted in the medical, commercial, and military fields, which may include some sensitive information which should not be accessed by or can only be partially exposed to the general users. . The encryption algorithms developed to secure text data are not suitable for multimedia application because of the large data size and real time constraint. Therefore, there is a great demand for secured data storage and transmission techniques. Information security has traditionally been ensured with data encryption and authentication techniques. The secrecy of communication is maintained by secret key exchange. In effect the strength of the algorithm depends solely on the length of the key. The presented work aims at secure video transmission using randomness in encryption algorithm, thereby creating more confusion to obtain the original data. The security of the original cipher has been enhanced by addition of impurities to misguide the cryptanalyst. Since the encryption process is one way function, the artificial neural networks are best suited for this purpose as they possess features like high security, no distortion and its ability to perform for non linear input-output characteristics, In the presented work the need for key exchange is also eliminated, which is otherwise a perquisite for most of the algorithms used today. The proposed work finds its application in medical imaging systems, military image database communication and confidential video conferencing, and similar such application.

III. QUALITY PARAMETERS
For comparing With Redundancy Evaluation
Method and Without Redundancy Evaluation Method we
have considered various quality parameters such as
Compression Ratio (CR), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio
(PSNR) and Embedding Capacity (EC).
3.1 Compression Ratio (CR)
The compression ratio is calculated as the ratio of number
of bits required to represent original image to the number of
bits required to represent compressed codestream.

represent original image

After codestream decoder redundancy is to be evaluated as
described in secret message embedding algorithm. By using
quantization redundancy matrix 𝑟𝑖 embedded secret bits are
extracted from subbands. Extracted secret bits are encrypted
bits. So original secret image recovered by using following
formula.
