This document reviews steganography techniques for hiding data in digital images. It discusses how the least significant bit insertion method can be used to embed secret messages in the pixel values of an image file without noticeably changing the image. The document also compares steganography to cryptography, noting that while cryptography encrypts messages, steganography aims to conceal even the existence of hidden communications. It proposes a novel approach that first encrypts data using cryptography before embedding it in images using least significant bit insertion and interpolation to increase capacity.

STEGANALYSIS ALGORITHMS FOR DETECTING THE HIDDEN INFORMATION IN IMAGE, AUDIO ...IJNSA Journal
Recently, there has been a lot of interest in the fields of Steganography and Steganalysis. Steganographyn involves hiding information in a cover (carrier) media to obtain the stego media, in such a way that the cover media is perceived not to have any embedded message for its unintended recipients. Steganalysis is the mechanism of detecting the presence of hidden information in the stego media and it can lead to the prevention of disastrous security incidents. In this paper, we provide a critical review of the steganalysis algorithms available to analyze the characteristics of an image, audio or video stego media vis-à-vis the corresponding cover media (without the hidden information) and understand the process of embedding the information and its detection. It is noteworthy that each of these cover media has different special attributes that are altered by a steganography algorithm in such a way that the changes are not perceivable for the unintended recipients; but, the changes are identifiable using appropriate steganlysis algorithms. We anticipate that this paper can also give a clear picture of the current trends in
steganography so that we can develop and improvise appropriate steganlysis algorithms.

One of the reasons that intruders can be successful is that most of the information they acquire from a system is in a form that they can read and comprehend. Intruders may reveal the information to others, modify it to misrepresent an individual or organization, or use it to launch an attack. One solution to this problem is, through the use of Steganography. Steganography is a technique of hiding information in digital media. In contrast to cryptography, it is not to keep others from knowing the hidden information but it is to keep others from thinking that the information even exists. In this review paper we will understand what Steganography, Cryptography is and what are the advantages of using them? In last we will discuss our goal of this paper that what types of techniques worked on video Steganography?

Steganography Technique of Sending Random Passwords on Receiver’s Mobile (A N...IOSR Journals
Abstract: Steganography is the art of hiding the fact that communication is taking place, by hiding information
in other information. There are many application of Steganography with different carrier file format. Here we
perform Steganography Technique with sending OTP on receiver mobile, which is one of the best secured
technique in current scenario. This technique is hiding file information into image with OTP password that is
only known by receiver. And can decrypt using that OTP only this is pure Steganography. Pure Steganography
means that there is none prior information shared by two communication parties. We are not sharing OTP
information by two communication parties. So this is more secure than other technique.

A NOVEL IMAGE ENCRYPTION SCHEME WITH HUFFMAN ENCODING AND STEGANOGRAPHY TECHN...IJNSA Journal
In today’s day and age when everything is done with the aid of computing technology, the need for confidential communication has drastically increased. Not only the sensitive data such as top intelligent secrets of our nation but personal information of common people needs to be secure. Several combinations of cryptography and steganography techniques in different ways are used by researchers over the past to protect the data being transmitted. Cryptography uses mathematical algorithms to convert the data into an incomprehensible form and Steganography, on the other hand hides the data in a carrier such as image, data, audio or video. Cryptography provides necessary mechanisms for providing accountability, accuracy and confidentiality in public communication mediums such as the Internet and steganography is used in other fields such as copyright, preventing e-document forging etc. We are of the opinion that this security mechanism can further be increased by incorporating the use of Huffman coding in order to reduce the data length. This paper is an effort in the direction to hide, secure and compress the data. It explains the executed procedure by applying various encryption techniques one by one and our aim is to get the best security out of the existing ones. The proposed technique is implemented in MATLAB2016a and the results shown in this paper that our technique is better approach then the conventional techniques.

This paper introduces a new method of securing image using cryptographic and steganographic techniques. The science of securing a data by encryption is Cryptography whereas the method of hiding secret messages in other essages is Steganography, so that the secret’s very existence is concealed. The term ‘Steganography’ describes the method of hiding cognitive content in another medium to avoid detection by the intruders. The proposed method uses cryptographic and steganographic techniques to encrypt the data as well as hide the encrypted data in another medium so the fact, that a message being sent is concealed. The image is concealed by converting it into a iphertext using SDES algorithm with a secret key,which is also an image, and sent to the receiving end securely.

The science of securing a data by encryption is Cryptography whereas the method of hiding secret messages in other messages is Steganography, so that the secret’s very existence is concealed. The term ‘Steganography’ describes the method of hiding cognitive content in another medium to avoid detection by the intruders. This paper introduces two new methods wherein cryptography and steganography are combined to encrypt the data as well as to hide the encrypted data in another medium so the fact that a message being sent is concealed. One of the methods shows how to secure the image by converting it into cipher text by S-DES algorithm using a secret key and conceal this text in another image by steganographic method. Another method shows a new way of hiding an image in another image by encrypting the image directly by S-DES algorithm using a key image and the data obtained is concealed in another image. The proposed method prevents the possibilities of steganalysis also.
DATA SECURITY USING PRIVATE KEY ENCRYPTION SYSTEM BASED ON ARITHMETIC CODINGIJNSA Journal
Problem faced by today’s communicators is not only security but also the speed of communication and size of content.In the present paper, a scheme has been proposed which uses the concept of compression and data encryption. In first phase the focus has been made on data compression and cryptography. In the next phase we have emphasized on compression cryptosystem. Finally, proposed technique has been discussed which used the concept of data compression and encryption. In this first data is compressed to reduce the size of the data and increase the data transfer rate. Thereafter compress data is encrypted to provide security. Hence our proposed technique is effective that can reduce data size, increase data transfer rate and provide the security during communication.
LSB Based Image Steganography for Information Security Systemijtsrd
Information hiding in a cover file is one of the most modernized and effective ways for transferring secret message from sender to receiver over the communication channel. There are many steganographic techniques for hiding secret message in image, text, audio, video and so on. Image Steganography is also one of the common methods used for hiding the information in the cover image. In this research work, the secret message is hidden in a cover image file using image steganography. LSB is very efficient algorithm used to embed the information in a cover file. The LSB based image steganography with various file sizes is analyzed and illustrated their results. Bitmap .bmp image is used as a cover image file to implement the proposed system. The detail Least Significant Bit LSB based image steganography is introduced. In this paper, the new embedding algorithm and extracting algorithm are presented. While embedding the secret message in a cover image file, the starting embedded pixel is chosen according to public shared key between sender and receiver. The original cover image and embedded image with secret message are analyzed with PSNR values and SNR values to achieve security. The resulting embedded image shows the acceptable PSNR and SNR values while comparing with the original cover image. The proposed system can help the information exchanging system over communication media.

A survey of service Discovery Architecture of MANET with AODV-SDEditor IJCATR
Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is network of a no. of mobile routers and associated hosts, organized in a random
fashion via wireless link. MANET has been widely used for not only military purposes but for search-and- rescue operations,
intelligent transportation system, data collection, virtual classrooms and ubiquitous computing. There are various Issues in MANET
like Routing, MAC Layer issues, Transport protocol, QoS, Data Mgt. And Security etc. from them Service Discovery is one of the
most important issues in MANET. Service discovery technologies are exploited to enable services to advertise their existence in a
dynamic way, and can be discovered, configured and used by other devices with a minimum of manual efforts. Most of the service
discovery protocols such as DEAPspace, UPnP, Konark, Salutation, Jini, and SLP. These protocols don’t provide an appropriate route
from consumer to service provider. Hence after services are discovered, a route request needs to be initiated in order to access the
service. In this paper proposing an efficient, robust and flexible approach to service discovery for MANET that not only discovers a
service provider, but at the same time, it also provides a route to access the service.
A Trusted Integrity verification Architecture for Commodity ComputersEditor IJCATR
Trust is an indispensable part of the computing environment, the validity of any transaction or information depends heavily
on the authenticity of the information source. In this context, many mechanisms for ensuring the authenticity of the information source
were developed, including password verification and biometrics. But as the attacks are directed towards the computing platform and
the applications running on the computer, all these initial security mechanisms are not sufficient. It is essential to ensure before making
a secure transaction that the system is in a good state (or say some authorized state) and maintains its integrity throughout the
execution time. The emergence of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) has added to the security feature of a computer. Mechanisms
are in place which guarantee system integrity but very little is known about the state of the applications running on them. We propose
a system which notifies the user if the integrity of an application is violated and stops it. Our system also compares the current system
state with a known good value to ensure platform integrity.
An Efficient Reconfigurable Filter Design for Reducing Dynamic PowerEditor IJCATR
This paper presents an architectural view of designing a digital filter. The main idea is to design a reconfigurable filter for reducing dynamic
power consumption. By considering the input variation’s we reduce the order of the filter considering the coefficient are fixed. The filter is implemented
using mentor graphics using TSMC .18um technology. The power consumption is decreased in the rate of 16% from the conventional model with a slight
increase in area overhead. If the filter coefficients are fixed then the power can be reduced up to 18% and the area overhead can also be reduced from the
reconfigurable architecture.

Multiple Downlink Fair Packet Scheduling Scheme in Wi-MaxEditor IJCATR
IEEE 802.16 is standardization for a broadband wireless access in network metropolitan area network (MAN). IEEE 802.16
standard (Wi-Max) defines the concrete quality of service (QoS) requirement, a scheduling scheme and efficient packet scheduling
scheme which is necessary to achieve the QoS requirement. In this paper, a novel waiting queue based on downlink bandwidth
allocation architecture from a number of rtps schedule has been proposed to improve the performance of nrtPS services without any
impaction to other services. This paper proposes an efficient QoS scheduling scheme that satisfies both throughput and delay guarantee
to various real and non-real applications corresponding to different scheduling schemes for k=1,2,3,4. Simulation results show that
proposed scheduling scheme can provide a tight QoS guarantee in terms of delay for all types of traffic as defined in WiMax standards.
This process results in maintaining the fairness of allocation and helps to eliminate starvation of lower priority class services. The
authors propose a new efficient and generalized scheduling schemes for IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless access system reflecting the
delay requirements.
Accountability in Distributed Environment For Data Sharing in the CloudEditor IJCATR
Cloud computing enables highly scalable services to be easily consumed over the Internet on an as-needed basis.
A major feature of the cloud services is that users‘ data are usually processed remotely in unknown machines that users do
not own or operate. While enjoying the convenience brought by this new emerging technology, users‘ fears of losing control
of their own data (particularly, financial and health data) can become a significant barrier to the wide adoption of cloud
services. To address this problem, in this paper, we propose a novel highly decentralized information accountability
framework to keep track of the actual usage of the users ‗data in the cloud. In particular, we propose an object-centred
approach that enables enclosing our logging mechanism together with users‘ data and policies. We leverage the JAR
programmable capabilities to both create a dynamic and travelling object, and to ensure that any access to users‘ data will
trigger authentication and automated logging local to the JARs. To strengthen user‘s control, we also provide distributed
auditing mechanisms
Ballpark Figure Algorithms for Data Broadcast in Wireless NetworksEditor IJCATR
In wireless system allocation is a necessary purpose and show industry expensive dependability in message protocol design. In multihop wireless networks, equally, imposition by a node by reason of immediate transmissions as its neighbors makes it nontrivial to graph a minimum-latency transmit algorithm, which is known to be NP-complete. A simple ballpark figure algorithm for the one-to-all transmit problem that improves all previously documented guarantees for this problem. In All-to-all transmit problem where every node sends its own consequence to all complementary nodes. In the all-to-all transmit problem, we current two algorithms with ballpark figure ratios of 20 and 34, civilizing the greatest result. A communication wants to be transmitted establishment its resource to all the previous nodes in the network. There may be different messages to be broadcasted from several sources. Two or more nodes broadcast a communication to an ordinary neighbor at the same time; the frequent node will not collect any of this communication. We say that collide has occurred at the ordinary node. So any message protocol for wireless networks must dispute with the distress of difficulty in the wireless intermediate.

Image morphing has been the subject of much attention in recent years. It has proven to be a powerful visual effects tool
in film and television, depicting the fluid transformation of one digital image into another. This paper reviews the growth of this field
and describes recent advances in image morphing in terms of three areas: feature specification, warp generation methods, and
transition control. These areas relate to the ease of use and quality of results. We will describe the role of radial basis functions, thin
plate splines, energy minimization, and multilevel free-form deformations in advancing the state-of-the-art in image morphing. A
comparison of various techniques for morphing one digital image in to another is made. We will compare various morphing techniques
such as Feature based image morphing, Mesh and Thin Plate Splines based image morphing based on different attributes such as
Computational Time, Visual Quality of Morphs obtained and Complexity involved in Selection of features. We will demonstrate the
pros and cons of various techniques so as to allow the user to make an informed decision to suit his particular needs. Recent work on a
generalized framework for morphing among multiple images will be described.

A New Architecture for Group Replication in Data GridEditor IJCATR
Nowadays, grid systems are vital technology for programs running with high performance and problems solving with largescale
in scientific, engineering and business. In grid systems, heterogeneous computational resources and data should be shared
between independent organizations that are scatter geographically. A data grid is a kind of grid types that make relations computational
and storage resources. Data replication is an efficient way in data grid to obtain high performance and high availability by saving
numerous replicas in different locations e.g. grid sites. In this research, we propose a new architecture for dynamic Group data
replication. In our architecture, we added two components to OptorSim architecture: Group Replication Management component
(GRM) and Management of Popular Files Group component (MPFG). OptorSim developed by European Data Grid projects for
evaluate replication algorithm. By using this architecture, popular files group will be replicated in grid sites at the end of each
predefined time interval.
Data Transfer Security solution for Wireless Sensor NetworkEditor IJCATR
WSN is a wide growth area for specific resource limited application. Factor associated with technology like, the encryption
security, operating speed and power consumption for network. Here, we introduce a mechanism for secure transferring of data is WSN
and various security related issues. This energy-efficient encryption is a secure communication framework in which an algorithm is
used to encode the sensed data using like, RC5, AES and CAST Algorithm. The proposed scheme is most suitable for wireless sensor
networks that incorporate data centric routing protocols. An algorithm in sensor network is help to designers predict security
performance under a set of constraints for WSNs. This symmetric key function is used to guarantee secure communications between
in-network nodes and reliable operation cost. RC5 is good on the code point of view, but the key schedule consumes more resource

ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE OF TAMILNADU NEWSPRINT AND PAPERS LTD – C...Editor IJCATR
Every day, Tamilnadu Newsprint and Papers Ltd managers must make decisions about Production delivery without
knowing what will happen in the future. Forecasts enable them to anticipate the future and plan, many forecasting methods are
available to Tamilnadu Newsprint and Papers Ltd managers for planning, to estimate future demand or any other issues at hand.
However, for any type of forecast to bring about later success, it must follow a step-by-step process comprising five major steps: 1)
goal of the forecast and the identification of resources for conducting it; 2) time horizon; 3) selection of a forecasting technique; 4)
conducting and completing the forecast; and 5) monitoring the accuracy of the forecast. Accordingly Linear Regression method is a
widely used to predict this kind of demand. In this paper, we forecast the Production of Papers in TamilNadu Newsprint and Papers
Ltd from the past 15 years of Production using the Linear Regression method
Steganography and Its Applications in SecurityIJMER
ABSTRACT: Steganography is the dark cousin of cryptography, the use of codes. While cryptography provides privacy,
steganography is intended to provide secrecy. Steganography is a method of covertly communicating. Steganography is a
process that involves hiding a message in an appropriate carrier for example an image or an audio file. The carrier can then
be sent to a receiver without anyone else knowing that it contains a hidden message. This is a process, which can be used for
example by civil rights organizations in repressive states to communicate their message to the outside world without their
own government being aware of it. In this article we have tried to elucidate the different approaches towards implementation
of Steganography using ‘multimedia’ file (text, static image, audio and video). Steganalysis is a newly emerging branch of
data processing that seeks the identification of steganographic covers, and if possible message extraction. It is similar to
cryptanalysis in cryptography. The technique is ancient emerging monster that have gained immutable notice as it have
newly penetrated the world of digital communication security. Objective is not only to prevent the message being read but
also to hide its existence.

A Steganography LSB technique for hiding Image within Image Using blowfish En...IJRES Journal
Steganography refers to information or a file that has been hidden inside a digital image, video
or audio file. There are different carrier file formats can be used such as Text Steganography, Image
Steganography, Audio/Video Steganography, but Image Steganography are the most popular because of their
frequency on the Internet. It is the first common methods used for hiding the information in the cover image.
The Least Significant Bit (LSB) steganography is one such technique in which least significant bit of the image
is replaced with data bit. steganographic algorithm for 8bit (gray scale) or 24 bit (colour image) is presented in
this paper. Sometime steganography will not cover the total security of secret massage. So an additional security
need to the secret massage. For this purpose blowfish encryption Algorithm is used in the proposed
Steganographic system This work is concerned with implementing Steganography for images, with an
improvement security and image quality.
The experimental result shows that the stego-image is visually indistinguishable from the original cover-image
It comes under the assumption that if the feature is visible, the point of attack is evident, thus the goal here is
always to cover up the very existence of the embedded data. and that the algorithm has a high capacity and a
good invisibility.

STEGANALYSIS ALGORITHM FOR PNG IMAGES BASED ON FUZZY LOGIC TECHNIQUEIJNSA Journal
Embedding a message in media files, also known as steganography, is a common approach to hide secret
information. It has been exploited by some criminals to confidentially exchange messages. As a countermeasure,
tools have been developed in order to detect hidden information form digital media such as text,
image, audio or video files. However the efficiency and performance of previous approaches still have
room for improvement. In this research, we focus on algorithm design for better efficiency of hidden message detection from PNG files. We employ three classic AI approaches including neural network, fuzzy logic, and genetic algorithm and evaluate their efficiency and performance in controlled experiments. Finally we introduce our message detection system for PNG files based on LSB approach and present its

TWO PHASE CLANDESTAIN IMAGE ENCRYPTION acijjournal
In today’s internet world is full of data steals and hackers. So, there is a essential to design a system that
assists the internet users to interchange their secret and private data safely across the web. Informationhiding
process in a Steganography system starts by identifying medium’s redundant bits. The encryption
process creates a stego medium by replacing these redundant bits with data from the hidden message.
So, we propose a method for encrypting the image, which has two phases. In the first phase, Perform
Circular Shift Operations on the image pixels and the number of rotations have been calculated based on
the length of the password. In the second phase, the first phase has undergone some bitwise operations
with a carriage image, by doing this; breaking of the cipher text is difficult.
An important topic in the exchange of confidential messages over the internet is the security of information conveyance. For instance, the producers and consumers of digital products are keen to know that their products are authentic and can be differentiated from those that are invalid. The science of encryption is the art of embedding data in audio files, images, videos or content in a way that would meet the above security needs. Steganography is a branch of data hiding science which aims to reach a describe level of security in the exchange of private military and commercial data which is not clear. This system is proposed to hide the text information files within the image based on the LSB method in order to meet security requirement such as confidential and integrity. The least significant bit is the bit which is farthest to the right and holds the least value in a multi bit binary number. This system is implemented by using C programming.

Increase in the number of attack recorded during electronic exchange of information between the source and intended destination has indeed called for a more robust method for securing data transfer. Cryptography and steganography are well known and widely used techniques that manipulate information in order to cipher or hide their existence. Many different carrier file format scan be used but digital images are the most popular because of their frequency on the internet. The digital images are the most popular because of their frequency on the Web among all different carrier file formats. Image steganography, achieves the secrecy by embedding data into cover image and generating a stego-image. There are many types of steganography techniques each have their advantages and disadvantages. This paper discussed a technique used on the advanced LSB (least significant bit) and RSA algorithm. By matching data to an image, there is less chance of an attacker being able to use steganalysis to recover data.

A NOVEL APPROACH FOR CONCEALED DATA SHARING AND DATA EMBEDDING FOR SECURED CO...IJCSEA Journal
This paper introduces a new method of securing image using cryptographic and steganographic techniques. The science of securing a data by encryption is Cryptography whereas the method of hiding secret messages in other messages is Steganography, so that the secret’s very existence is concealed. The term ‘Steganography’ describes the method of hiding cognitive content in another medium to avoid detection by the intruders. The proposed method uses cryptographic and steganographic techniques to encrypt the data as well as hide the encrypted data in another medium so the fact, that a message being sent is concealed. The image is concealed by converting it into a ciphertext using SDES algorithm with a secret key,which is also an image, and sent to the receiving end securely.
How is steganography different from cryptography-SolutionThe study of.docxhamblymarta
How is steganography different from cryptography?
Solution
The study of hiding information is called Cryptography. When communicating over an untrusted medium such as internet, it is very important to protect information and Cryptography plays an important role in this. Today, cryptography uses principles from several disciplines such as mathematics,
computer science, etc. Steganography deals with composing hidden messages so that only the sender and the receiver know that the message even exists. Since, nobody except the sender and the receiver knows the existence of the message, it does not attract unwanted attention.
Difference :
1. Cryptography is the study of hiding information, while Steganography deals with composing hidden messages so that only the sender and the receiver know that the message even exists. In Steganography, only the sender and the receiver know the existence of the message, whereas in cryptography the existence of the encrypted message is visible to the world.
2. Due to this, Steganography removes the unwanted attention coming to the hidden message. Cryptographic methods try to protect the content of a message, while Steganography uses methods that would hide both the message as well as the content. By combining Steganography and Cryptography one can achieve better security.
3. Here are three types of cryptographic algorithms used called Symmetric key cryptography, Public-key cryptography and hash functions. Symmetric key cryptography involves encryption methods where both the sender and the receiver share the same key used to encrypt the data. In Public-key cryptography, two different but mathematically related keys are used. Hash functions does not use a key, instead they compute a fixed length hash value from the data. It is impossible to recover the length or the original plain text from this hash value.
4. Some examples for these methods are messages hidden in messages body, messages written in secret inks, messages written on envelopes in areas covered by stamps, etc. Modern Steganography methods are called Digital Steganography.
5. These modern methods include hiding messages within noisy images, embedding a message within random data, embedding pictures with the message within video files, etc. Furthermore, Network Steganography is used in telecommunication networks. This includes techniques like Steganophony (hiding a message in Voice-over-IP conversations) and WLAN Steganography.

Text Mining in Digital Libraries using OKAPI BM25 ModelEditor IJCATR
The emergence of the internet has made vast amounts of information available and easily accessible online. As a result, most libraries have digitized their content in order to remain relevant to their users and to keep pace with the advancement of the internet. However, these digital libraries have been criticized for using inefficient information retrieval models that do not perform relevance ranking to the retrieved results. This paper proposed the use of OKAPI BM25 model in text mining so as means of improving relevance ranking of digital libraries. Okapi BM25 model was selected because it is a probability-based relevance ranking algorithm. A case study research was conducted and the model design was based on information retrieval processes. The performance of Boolean, vector space, and Okapi BM25 models was compared for data retrieval. Relevant ranked documents were retrieved and displayed at the OPAC framework search page. The results revealed that Okapi BM 25 outperformed Boolean model and Vector Space model. Therefore, this paper proposes the use of Okapi BM25 model to reward terms according to their relative frequencies in a document so as to improve the performance of text mining in digital libraries.
Green Computing, eco trends, climate change, e-waste and eco-friendlyEditor IJCATR
This study focused on the practice of using computing resources more efficiently while maintaining or increasing overall performance. Sustainable IT services require the integration of green computing practices such as power management, virtualization, improving cooling technology, recycling, electronic waste disposal, and optimization of the IT infrastructure to meet sustainability requirements. Studies have shown that costs of power utilized by IT departments can approach 50% of the overall energy costs for an organization. While there is an expectation that green IT should lower costs and the firm’s impact on the environment, there has been far less attention directed at understanding the strategic benefits of sustainable IT services in terms of the creation of customer value, business value and societal value. This paper provides a review of the literature on sustainable IT, key areas of focus, and identifies a core set of principles to guide sustainable IT service design.
Policies for Green Computing and E-Waste in NigeriaEditor IJCATR
Computers today are an integral part of individuals’ lives all around the world, but unfortunately these devices are toxic to the environment given the materials used, their limited battery life and technological obsolescence. Individuals are concerned about the hazardous materials ever present in computers, even if the importance of various attributes differs, and that a more environment -friendly attitude can be obtained through exposure to educational materials. In this paper, we aim to delineate the problem of e-waste in Nigeria and highlight a series of measures and the advantage they herald for our country and propose a series of action steps to develop in these areas further. It is possible for Nigeria to have an immediate economic stimulus and job creation while moving quickly to abide by the requirements of climate change legislation and energy efficiency directives. The costs of implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy measures are minimal as they are not cash expenditures but rather investments paid back by future, continuous energy savings.

The result of this laboratory test then converted into data training. Data training used in this study generated from UCI Pima Database with 6 attributes that were used to classify positive or negative diabetes. There are various classification methods that are commonly used, and in this study three of them were compared, which were fuzzy KNN, C4.5 algorithm and Naïve Bayes Classifier (NBC) with one identical case. The objective of this study was to create software to classify DM using tested methods and compared the three methods based on accuracy, precision, and recall. The results showed that the best method was Fuzzy KNN with average and maximum accuracy reached 96% and 98%, respectively. In second place, NBC method had respective average and maximum accuracy of 87.5% and 90%. Lastly, C4.5 algorithm had average and maximum accuracy of 79.5% and 86%, respectively.
Web Scraping for Estimating new Record from Source SiteEditor IJCATR
Study in the Competitive field of Intelligent, and studies in the field of Web Scraping, have a symbiotic relationship mutualism. In the information age today, the website serves as a main source. The research focus is on how to get data from websites and how to slow down the intensity of the download. The problem that arises is the website sources are autonomous so that vulnerable changes the structure of the content at any time. The next problem is the system intrusion detection snort installed on the server to detect bot crawler. So the researchers propose the use of the methods of Mining Data Records and the method of Exponential Smoothing so that adaptive to changes in the structure of the content and do a browse or fetch automatically follow the pattern of the occurrences of the news. The results of the tests, with the threshold 0.3 for MDR and similarity threshold score 0.65 for STM, using recall and precision values produce f-measure average 92.6%. While the results of the tests of the exponential estimation smoothing using ? = 0.5 produces MAE 18.2 datarecord duplicate. It slowed down to 3.6 datarecord from 21.8 datarecord results schedule download/fetch fix in an average time of occurrence news.

Most of the existing semantic similarity measures that use ontology structure as their primary source can measure semantic similarity between concepts/classes using single ontology. The ontology-based semantic similarity techniques such as structure-based semantic similarity techniques (Path Length Measure, Wu and Palmer’s Measure, and Leacock and Chodorow’s measure), information content-based similarity techniques (Resnik’s measure, Lin’s measure), and biomedical domain ontology techniques (Al-Mubaid and Nguyen’s measure (SimDist)) were evaluated relative to human experts’ ratings, and compared on sets of concepts using the ICD-10 “V1.0” terminology within the UMLS. The experimental results validate the efficiency of the SemDist technique in single ontology, and demonstrate that SemDist semantic similarity techniques, compared with the existing techniques, gives the best overall results of correlation with experts’ ratings.

The techniques and tests are tools used to define how measure the goodness of ontology or its resources. The similarity between biomedical classes/concepts is an important task for the biomedical information extraction and knowledge discovery. However, most of the semantic similarity techniques can be adopted to be used in the biomedical domain (UMLS). Many experiments have been conducted to check the applicability of these measures. In this paper, we investigate to measure semantic similarity between two terms within single ontology or multiple ontologies in ICD-10 “V1.0” as primary source, and compare my results to human experts score by correlation coefficient.
A Strategy for Improving the Performance of Small Files in Openstack Swift Editor IJCATR
This is an effective way to improve the storage access performance of small files in Openstack Swift by adding an aggregate storage module. Because Swift will lead to too much disk operation when querying metadata, the transfer performance of plenty of small files is low. In this paper, we propose an aggregated storage strategy (ASS), and implement it in Swift. ASS comprises two parts which include merge storage and index storage. At the first stage, ASS arranges the write request queue in chronological order, and then stores objects in volumes. These volumes are large files that are stored in Swift actually. During the short encounter time, the object-to-volume mapping information is stored in Key-Value store at the second stage. The experimental results show that the ASS can effectively improve Swift's small file transfer performance.
Integrated System for Vehicle Clearance and RegistrationEditor IJCATR
Efficient management and control of government's cash resources rely on government banking arrangements. Nigeria, like many low income countries, employed fragmented systems in handling government receipts and payments. Later in 2016, Nigeria implemented a unified structure as recommended by the IMF, where all government funds are collected in one account would reduce borrowing costs, extend credit and improve government's fiscal policy among other benefits to government. This situation motivated us to embark on this research to design and implement an integrated system for vehicle clearance and registration. This system complies with the new Treasury Single Account policy to enable proper interaction and collaboration among five different level agencies (NCS, FRSC, SBIR, VIO and NPF) saddled with vehicular administration and activities in Nigeria. Since the system is web based, Object Oriented Hypermedia Design Methodology (OOHDM) is used. Tools such as Php, JavaScript, css, html, AJAX and other web development technologies were used. The result is a web based system that gives proper information about a vehicle starting from the exact date of importation to registration and renewal of licensing. Vehicle owner information, custom duty information, plate number registration details, etc. will also be efficiently retrieved from the system by any of the agencies without contacting the other agency at any point in time. Also number plate will no longer be the only means of vehicle identification as it is presently the case in Nigeria, because the unified system will automatically generate and assigned a Unique Vehicle Identification Pin Number (UVIPN) on payment of duty in the system to the vehicle and the UVIPN will be linked to the various agencies in the management information system.

Energy-Aware Routing in Wireless Sensor Network Using Modified Bi-Directional A*Editor IJCATR
Energy is a key component in the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)[1]. The system will not be able to run according to its function without the availability of adequate power units. One of the characteristics of wireless sensor network is Limitation energy[2]. A lot of research has been done to develop strategies to overcome this problem. One of them is clustering technique. The popular clustering technique is Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH)[3]. In LEACH, clustering techniques are used to determine Cluster Head (CH), which will then be assigned to forward packets to Base Station (BS). In this research, we propose other clustering techniques, which utilize the Social Network Analysis approach theory of Betweeness Centrality (BC) which will then be implemented in the Setup phase. While in the Steady-State phase, one of the heuristic searching algorithms, Modified Bi-Directional A* (MBDA *) is implemented. The experiment was performed deploy 100 nodes statically in the 100x100 area, with one Base Station at coordinates (50,50). To find out the reliability of the system, the experiment to do in 5000 rounds. The performance of the designed routing protocol strategy will be tested based on network lifetime, throughput, and residual energy. The results show that BC-MBDA * is better than LEACH. This is influenced by the ways of working LEACH in determining the CH that is dynamic, which is always changing in every data transmission process. This will result in the use of energy, because they always doing any computation to determine CH in every transmission process. In contrast to BC-MBDA *, CH is statically determined, so it can decrease energy usage.

Report handling on "LAPOR!" (Laporan, Aspirasi dan Pengaduan Online Rakyat) system depending on the system administrator who manually reads every incoming report [3]. Read manually can lead to errors in handling complaints [4] if the data flow is huge and grows rapidly, it needs at least three days to prepare a confirmation and it sensitive to inconsistencies [3]. In this study, the authors propose a model that can measure the identities of the Query (Incoming) with Document (Archive). The authors employed Class-Based Indexing term weighting scheme, and Cosine Similarities to analyse document similarities. CoSimTFIDF, CoSimTFICF and CoSimTFIDFICF values used in classification as feature for K-Nearest Neighbour (K-NN) classifier. The optimum result evaluation is pre-processing employ 75% of training data ratio and 25% of test data with CoSimTFIDF feature. It deliver a high accuracy 84%. The k = 5 value obtain high accuracy 84.12%
Hangul Recognition Using Support Vector MachineEditor IJCATR
The recognition of Hangul Image is more difficult compared with that of Latin. It could be recognized from the structural arrangement. Hangul is arranged from two dimensions while Latin is only from the left to the right. The current research creates a system to convert Hangul image into Latin text in order to use it as a learning material on reading Hangul. In general, image recognition system is divided into three steps. The first step is preprocessing, which includes binarization, segmentation through connected component-labeling method, and thinning with Zhang Suen to decrease some pattern information. The second is receiving the feature from every single image, whose identification process is done through chain code method. The third is recognizing the process using Support Vector Machine (SVM) with some kernels. It works through letter image and Hangul word recognition. It consists of 34 letters, each of which has 15 different patterns. The whole patterns are 510, divided into 3 data scenarios. The highest result achieved is 94,7% using SVM kernel polynomial and radial basis function. The level of recognition result is influenced by many trained data. Whilst the recognition process of Hangul word applies to the type 2 Hangul word with 6 different patterns. The difference of these patterns appears from the change of the font type. The chosen fonts for data training are such as Batang, Dotum, Gaeul, Gulim, Malgun Gothic. Arial Unicode MS is used to test the data. The lowest accuracy is achieved through the use of SVM kernel radial basis function, which is 69%. The same result, 72 %, is given by the SVM kernel linear and polynomial.

Survey on Energy-Efficient Routing Algorithms for Underwater Wireless Sensor ...Editor IJCATR
In underwater environment, for retrieval of information the routing mechanism is used. In routing mechanism there are three to four types of nodes are used, one is sink node which is deployed on the water surface and can collect the information, courier/super/AUV or dolphin powerful nodes are deployed in the middle of the water for forwarding the packets, ordinary nodes are also forwarder nodes which can be deployed from bottom to surface of the water and source nodes are deployed at the seabed which can extract the valuable information from the bottom of the sea. In underwater environment the battery power of the nodes is limited and that power can be enhanced through better selection of the routing algorithm. This paper focuses the energy-efficient routing algorithms for their routing mechanisms to prolong the battery power of the nodes. This paper also focuses the performance analysis of the energy-efficient algorithms under which we can examine the better performance of the route selection mechanism which can prolong the battery power of the node

Steganography using Interpolation and LSB with
Cryptography on Video Images-A Review

UIET, Kurukshetra University
Kurukshetra, India
Abstract: Stegnography is the most common term used in the IT industry, which specifically means, "covered writing" and is derived
from the Greek language. Stegnography is defined as the art and science of invisible communication i.e. it hides the existence of the
communication between the sender and the receiver. In distinction to Cryptography, where the opponent is permitted to detect,
interrupt and alter messages without being able to breach definite security grounds guaranteed by the cryptosystem, the prime
objective of Stegnography is to conceal messages inside other risk-free messages in a manner that does not agree to any enemy to even
sense that there is any second message present. Nowadays, it is an emerging area which is used for secured data transmission over any
public medium such as internet. In this research a novel approach of image stegnography based on LSB (Least Significant Bit)
insertion and cryptography method for the lossless jpeg images has been projected. This paper is comprising an application which
ranks images in a users library on the basis of their appropriateness as cover objects for some facts. Here, the data is matched to an
image, so there is a less possibility of an invader being able to employ steganalysis to recuperate the data. Furthermore, the application
first encrypts the data by means of cryptography and message bits that are to be hidden are embedded into the image using Least
Significant Bits insertion technique. Moreover, interpolation is used to increase the density

1. INTRODUCTION
As living in the society, human beings have repeatedly sought
innovative and well-organized ways to communicate. The
most primitive methods included smoke signals, cave
drawings and drums. With the advancements of civilization
introduced written language, telegraph, radio/television, and
most newly electronic mail. Nowadays, almost each and every
communication is carried out electronically; new
requirements, issues and opportunities are born. At times
when we communicate, we prefer that only the intended
recipient have the ability to decipher the contents of the
communication in order to keep the message covert. One of
the common solution to resolve this problem is the use of
encryption. Whilst encryption masks the significance of a
communication, instances do exist where it would be
preferred that the entire communication process is not obvious
to any observer, even the fact that communication is taking
place is kept secret. In this case, the communication taking
place is hidden. Steganography can be used to conceal or
cover the existence of communication. A major negative
aspect to encryption is that the existence of data is not hidden.
Data that has been encrypted, although unreadable, still exists
as data. If given an adequate amount of time, someone could
eventually decrypt that data. A solution to this dilemma is
steganography.
2. DIFFERENT KINDS OF
STEGNOGRAPHY
Approximately all digital file formats can be used for
stegnography; but the formats that are more appropriate are
those with a high level of redundancy. The term redundancy
can be defined as the bits of an object that provide
accurateness far greater than needed for the object’s use and
display. Also, the redundant bits of an object are those bits
that can be changed without the alteration being detected
easily. Image and audio files particularly meet the terms with
this prerequisite, while research has also uncovered other file
formats that can be used for information hiding.
Figure 1 shows the four main categories of file formats that
can be used for steganography.
Figure 1 Types of Steganography.
Image steganography is about exploiting the inadequate
powers of the human visual system (HVS). Within reason,
any cipher text, plain text, images, or anything else that can be
embedded in a bit stream can be concealed in an image.
Moreover, image steganography has come quite far in current
years with the expansion of fast, influential graphical
computers.

Digital image is the most important and common type of
carrier used for steganography. A digital image is composed
of finite number of elements each of which has a particular
location and value (gray scale). The processing of these digital
images by means of a digital Computer is referred as digital
image processing. The images are used for steganography in
the following ways.
The message or the data either in encrypted form or in the
unique form is embedded as the covert message to be sent into
a graphic file. This method results in the production of what is
called a stego-image. An additional secret data may be
required in the hiding process e.g. a stegokey. Furthermore,
the stego-image is then transmitted to the receiver. After that,
the recipient extracts the message from the carrier image. The
message can only be extracted if both the sender and the
recipient has a shared secret between them.
This could be the algorithm for extraction or a special
parameter such as a key. A stego-analyst or attacker may try
to intercept the stego-image. The computer based stenography
allows changes to be made to what are known as digital
carriers such as sounds or images. The changes represent the
hidden message, but result is successful if their is no
discernible change to the carrier. The information has nothing
to do with the carrier sound or image. Information might be
about the carrier such as the author or a digital watermark or
fingerprint.
Stegnography applications that hide data in images generally
use a variation of least significant bit (LSB) embedding . In
LSB embedding, the data is hidden in the least significant bit
of each byte in the image. The size of each pixel depends on
the format of the image and normally ranges from 1 byte to 3
bytes. Each unique numerical pixel value corresponds to a
color; thus, an 8-bit pixel is capable of displaying 256
different colors .Given two identical images, if the least
significant bits of the pixels in one image are changed, then
the two images still look identical to the human eye. This is
because the human eye is not sensitive enough to notice the
difference in color between pixels that are different by 1 unit.
Thus, stegnography applications use LSB embedding because
attackers do not notice anything odd or suspicious about an
image if any of the pixel’s least significant bits are
customized.
3. CRYPTOGRAPHY
Cryptography[8] is the study of mathematical techniques
related to aspects of information security such as
confidentiality, data integrity, entity authentication, and data
origin authentication. In this paper we will focus only on
confidentiality, i.e., the service used to keep the content of
information from all but those authorized to have it.
Cryptography protects the information by transforming it into
an incomprehensible format. It is useful to achieve private
transmission over a public network. Also, the original text, or
plaintext, is transformed into a coded alike called ciphertext
via any encryption algorithm. Only those who hold a secret
key can decipher (decrypt) the ciphertext into plaintext.
Cryptography systems can be broadly classified into
symmetric-key systems that use a single key (i.e., a
password) that both the sender and the receiver have for their
piece of work and a public-key systems that use two keys, a
public key known to everyone and a private key that is unique
and only the recipient of messages uses it. In the rest of this
paper, we will discuss only symmetric-key systems.
Cryptography and stegnography are close cousins in the spy
craft family: the former scrambles a message so it cannot be
understood and the latter hides the message so it cannot be
seen. A cipher message, for illustration, might arouse
suspicion on the part of the recipient whilst an invisible
message created with stegnographic methods will not.
In fact, stegnography can be useful when the use of
cryptography is forbidden; where cryptography and strong
encryption are barred, steganography can get around such
policies to pass message covertly. However, stegnography and
cryptography differ in the way in which they are evaluated;
stegnography fails when the ”enemy” is able to access the
content of the cipher message, while cryptography fails when
the ”enemy” detects that there is a secret message present in
the stegnographic medium .
The disciplines that study techniques for deciphering cipher
messages and detecting hide messages are called
cryptanalysis and steganalysis. The former denotes the set of
methods for obtaining the meaning of encrypted information,
while the latter is the art of discovering covert messages
4. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
CRYPTOGRAPHY AND
STEGNOGRAPHY
In cryptography, the system is broken when the attacker can
read the secret message. Breaking a stegnographic system has
two stages:
1. The attacker can detect that stegnography has been used.
2. Additionally, he is able to read the embedded message.
In our definition a stegnographic system is insecure already if
the detection of stegnography is possible (first stage).
5. CONCLUSIONS
The Steganography has its place in the security. On its own, it
won’t serve much but when used as a layer of cryptography, it
would lead to a greater security.
Although only some of the main image steganographic
techniques were discussed in this paper, one can see that there
exists a large selection of approaches to hiding information in
images. All the major image file formats have different
methods of hiding messages, with different strong and weak
points respectively. Where one technique lacks in payload
capacity, the other lacks in robustness.

Steganography, particularly pooled with cryptography is a
commanding tool which enables people to converse without
possible eavesdroppers even knowing there is a form of
communication in the first place. The proposed method
provides acceptable image quality with very little deformation
in the image. The main benefit of this System is to provide
high security for key information exchanging. It is also useful
in communications for codes self error correction. It can
embed remedial audio or image data in case corruption occurs
due to poor connection or transmission
