In this paper, we present a new approach for concealing secret message in a digital image by adding three layer securities. In the first layer, the secret image is encrypted by using the famed AES algorithm. In the second layer, we establish a Non-Uniform Block Adaptive Segmentation on Image (NUBASI) algorithm for generating segments of the cover image. This algorithm accept a Key from sender and by using this key, split the cover image into small pieces each with different dimension. In the third layer, a new randomized secret sharing algorithm hide the secret data into the different segments. This algorithm defines 32 different patterns for selecting the segments order to implant the cipher data. This proposed method was implemented and tested for various size cover images and secret messages. The quality of the final stego-image and original image are compared and analyzed through their PSNR values.

Abstract


In this paper, we present a new approach for concealing secret message in a digital image by adding three layer securities. In the first layer, the secret image is encrypted by using the famed AES algorithm. In the second layer, we establish a Non-Uniform Block Adaptive Segmentation on Image (NUBASI) algorithm for generating segments of the cover image. This algorithm accept a Key from sender and by using this key, split the cover image into small pieces each with different dimension. In the third layer, a new randomized secret sharing algorithm hide the secret data into the different segments. This algorithm defines 32 different patterns for selecting the segments order to implant the cipher data. This proposed method was implemented and tested for various size cover images and secret messages. The quality of the final stego-image and original image are compared and analyzed through their PSNR values.
