A Novel Technique for Image Steganography Based on DWT and Huffman EncodingCSCJournals
Image steganography is the art of hiding information into a cover image. This paper presents a novel technique for Image steganography based on DWT, where DWT is used to transform original image (cover image) from spatial domain to frequency domain. Firstly two dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform (2-D DWT) is performed on a gray level cover image of size M × N and Huffman encoding is performed on the secret messages/image before embedding. Then each bit of Huffman code of secret message/image is embedded in the high frequency coefficients resulted from Discrete Wavelet Transform. Image quality is to be improved by preserving the wavelet coefficients in the low frequency sub-band. The experimental results show that the algorithm has a high capacity and a good invisibility. Moreover PSNR of cover image with stego-image shows the better results in comparison with other existing steganography approaches. Furthermore, satisfactory security is maintained since the secret message/image cannot be extracted without knowing decoding rules and Huffman table.

This paper presents a novel approach of building a secure data hiding technique in digital images. The
image steganography technique takes the advantage of limited power of human visual system (HVS). It uses
image as cover media for embedding secret message. The most important requirement for a steganographic
algorithm is to be imperceptible while maximizing the size of the payload. In this paper a method is
proposed to encrypt the secret bits of the message based on chaos theory before embedding into the cover
image. A 3-3-2 LSB insertion method has been used for image steganography. Experimental results show a
substantial improvement in the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Image Fidelity (IF) value of the
proposed technique over the base technique of 3-3-2 LSB insertion.
An ideal steganographic scheme in networks using twisted payloadeSAT Journals
Abstract With the rapid development of network technology, information security has become a mounting problem. Steganography involves hiding information in a cover media, in such a way that the cover media is not supposed to have any confidential message for its unintentional addressee In this paper, an ideal steganographic scheme in networks is proposed using twisted payload. The confidential image values are twisted by using scrambling techiques.The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is applied on cover image and Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT) is applied to the scrambled confidential image. Merge operation is done on both images and Inverse DWT is computed on the same to get the stego image. The information hiding algorithm is the reverse process of the extracting algorithm. After this an ideal steganographic scheme is applied which generates a stego image which is immune against conventional attack and performs good perceptibility compared to other steganographic approaches.

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.
A NEW ALGORITHM FOR DATA HIDING USING OPAP AND MULTIPLE KEYSEditor IJMTER
Steganography gained significance in the past few years due to the increasing need
for providing secrecy in an open environment like the internet. With almost anyone can
observe the communicated data all around, steganography attempts to hide the very existence
of the message and make communication undetectable. In this paper we propose a modern
technique with Integer Wavelet transform (IWT) and double key to accomplish high hiding
capability, high security and good visual quality. Here cover image is transformed in to
wavelet transform co-efficients and the coefficients are selected randomly by using Key-2 for
embedding the data. Key-1 is used to calculate the number of bits to be embedded in the
randomly selected coefficients. Finally the Optimum Pixel Adjustment Process(OPAP) is
applied to the stego image to reduce the data embedding error.
A NOVEL IMAGE STEGANOGRAPHY APPROACH USING MULTI-LAYERS DCT FEATURES BASED ON...ijma
Steganography is the science of hidden data in the cover image without any updating of the cover image.
The recent research of the steganography is significantly used to hide large amount of information within
an image and/or audio files. This paper proposed a new novel approach for hiding the data of secret image
using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) features based on linear Support Vector Machine (SVM)
classifier. The DCT features are used to decrease the image redundant information. Moreover, DCT is
used to embed the secrete message based on the least significant bits of the RGB. Each bit in the cover
image is changed only to the extent that is not seen by the eyes of human. The SVM used as a classifier to
speed up the hiding process via the DCT features. The proposed method is implemented and the results
show significant improvements. In addition, the performance analysis is calculated based on the
parameters MSE, PSNR, NC, processing time, capacity, and robustness.

Information security is one of the main aspects of processes and methodologies in the technical age of information and communication. The security of information should be a key priority in the secret exchange of information between two parties. In order to ensure the security of information, there are some strategies that are used, and they include steganography and cryptography. An effective digital image-steganographic method based on odd/even pixel allocation and random function to increase the security and imperceptibility has been improved. This lately developed outline has been verified for increasing the security and imperceptibility to determine the existent problems. Huffman coding has been used to modify secret data prior embedding stage; this modified equivalent secret data that prevent the secret data from attackers to increase the secret data capacities. The main objective of our scheme is to boost the peak-signal-to-noise-ratio (PSNR) of the stego cover and stop against any attack. The size of the secret data also increases. The results confirm good PSNR values in addition of these findings confirmed the proposed method eligibility.
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.
Two Stage Reversible Data Hiding Based On Image Interpolation and Histogram ...IJMER
In this paper a two stage reversible data hiding technique is proposed. At the first stage, an
interpolation technique is used to generate a cover image from the input image. The difference values
from input image and cover image is used as the carrier to embed data. At the second stage, a histogram
modification is applied on a difference image to embed data. The extraction process also works in two
stages. The proposed algorithm is expected to increase the embedding capacity as two techniques are
combined. The interpolation technique helps to keep the distortion low. Experimental results show that
the new method has higher embedding capacity than other existing methods.

With the suitable operations, we can re-mix and re-make the source image. MATLAB7 is the program where the algorithm implemented on it, where the algorithm shows high ability for achieving the task to different type and size of images. Perfect reconstruction was achieved on the receiving side. But the most interesting is that the algorithm that deals with secured image transmission transmits no images at all
A Survey of different Data Hiding Techniques in Digital Imagesijsrd.com
Steganography is the art and science of invisible communication, which hides the existence of the communicated message into media such as text, audio, image and video without any suspicion. Steganography is different from cryptography and watermarking in its objectives which includes undetectability, robustness (resistance to various image processing methods and compression) and capacity of the hidden data. Image Steganography uses digital image as its cover media. This paper analyzes and discusses various techniques available today for image steganography along with their strengths and weaknesses.

ON THE IMAGE QUALITY AND ENCODING TIMES OF LSB, MSB AND COMBINED LSB-MSBijcsit
The Least Significant Bit (LSB) algorithm and the Most Significant Bit (MSB) algorithm are stenography algorithms with each one having its demerits. This work therefore proposed a Hybrid approach and compared its efficiency with LSB and MSB algorithms. The Least Significant Bit (LSB) and Most
Significant Bit (MSB) techniques were combined in the proposed algorithm. Two bits (the least significant bit and the most significant bit) of the cover images were replaced with a secret message. Comparisons were made based on Mean-Squared Error (MSE), Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and the encoding time between the proposed algorithm, LSB and MSB after embedding in digital images. The combined
technique produced a stego-image with minimal distortion in image quality than MSB technique independent of the nature of data that was hidden. However, LSB algorithm produced the best stego-image quality. Large cover images however made the combined algorithm’s quality better improved. The combined algorithm had lesser time of image and text encoding. Therefore, a trade-off exists between the encoding time and the quality of stego-image as demonstrated in this work.

Steganography is a technique of concealing the secret information in a digital carrier media, so that only
the authorized recipient can detect the presence of secret information. In this paper, we propose a spatial
domain steganography method for embedding secret information on conditional basis using 1-Bit of Most
Significant Bit (MSB). The cover image is decomposed into blocks of 8*8 matrix size. The first block of
cover image is embedded with 8 bits of upper bound and lower bound values required for retrieving
payload at the destination. The mean of median values and difference between consecutive pixels of each
8*8 block of cover image is determined to embed payload in 3 bits of Least Significant Bit (LSB) and 1 bit
of MSB based on prefixed conditions. It is observed that the capacity and security is improved compared to
the existing methods with reasonable PSNR.
A Secure & Optimized Data Hiding Technique Using DWT With PSNR ValueIJERA Editor
Multimedia applications are becoming increasingly significant in modern world. The mushroom growth of multimedia data of these applications, particularly over the web has increased the demand for protection of copyright. Digital watermarking is much more acceptable as a solution to the problem of copyright protection and authentication of multimedia data while working in a networked environment. In this paper, a DWT based watermarking scheme is proposed. We have used Genetic Algorithm (GA) in order to make an optimum tradeoff between imperceptibility and robustness by choosing an optimum watermarking level for each coefficient of the cover image. In addition to the suitable watermarking strength, the selection of best block size is also necessary for superior perceptual shaping functions. To achieve this goal we have trained and used GA to pick the best block size to tailor the watermark in one of the coefficients of the DWT. The fitness function criterion for the genetic algorithm decision making is based on PSNR values
Design and Implementation of Lifting Based Wavelet and Adaptive LSB Steganogr...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
Image steganography is an art of hiding images
secretly within another image. There are several ways of
performing image steganography; one among them is the
spatial approach. The most popular spatial domain approach
of image steganography is the Least Significant Bit (LSB)
method, which hides the secret image pixel information in the
LSB of the cover image pixel information. In this paper a
LSB based steganography approach is used to design
hardware architecture for the Image steganography. The
Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used here to transform
the cover image into higher and lower wavelet coefficients
and use these coefficients in hiding the secret image. the
design also includes encryption of secret image data, to
provide a higher level of security to the secret image. The
steganography system involving the stegno module and a
decode module is designed here. The design was simulated,
synthesized and implemented on Artix -7 FPGA. The
operation hiding and retrieving images was successfully
verified through simulations.

In recent years, the rapid growth of information technology and digital communication has become very important to secure information transmission between the sender and receiver. Therefore, steganography introduces strongly to hide information and to communicate a secret data in an appropriate multimedia carrier, e.g., image, audio and video files. In this paper, a new algorithm for image steganography has been proposed to hide a large amount of secret data presented by secret color image. This algorithm is based on different size image segmentations (DSIS) and modified least significant bits (MLSB), where the DSIS algorithm has been applied to embed a secret image randomly instead of sequentially; this approach has been applied before embedding process. The number of bit to be replaced at each byte is non uniform, it bases on byte characteristics by constructing an effective hypothesis. The simulation results justify that the proposed approach is employed efficiently and satisfied high imperceptible with high payload capacity reached to four bits per byte.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
