Performance Analysis of Hybrid Edge Detector Scheme and Magic Cube Based Scheme for Steganography Application

Abstract

Steganography is a technique used for hiding the secret information inside other information which is not secret. Detection of the secret data is challenging if the data first encrypted using cryptographic algorithm before performing stego operation of the secret data into the carrier. In this research article, a performance analysis on two novel steganography techniques used for achieving high payload for the information hiding using the carrier digital image. The research articles which are used for performance analysis are “High payload steganography mechanism using hybrid edge detector” [1] published in 2010 and the other one is “A magic cube based information hiding scheme of large payload” [2] published in 2016 respectively. The schemes discussed in these papers are used for achieving high embedding payload, better quality of stego image using the LSB steganography technique which is based on statistical analysis. In the performance analysis, it is noticed that the magic cube based information hiding scheme is outperforming hybrid edge detector scheme.
