Abstract

Recently, ensuring the security of secret messages over computer networks has significantly increased in importance. For this reason, a new system is proposed that tries to hide text using Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and more precisely using Radial Based Function, with zero mean square error, in addition to encryption techniques, to make sure that the resulting text is exactly the same as the one that was sent.
 
 In this study the text is encrypted by an ordinary encryption algorithm, then the encrypted text will be embedded within the image and the positions of each encrypted text value will be determined, and in the last step the taken values (positions) will be encrypted using the neural network. The resulting encrypted text is unpredictable, making it very secure.
 
 On the receiver side, only the person, who has knowledge of the decryption key, neural network inputs P and parameters, will be able to see the original message embedded in the image.

Highlights

  • Security and privacy are very important features in a modern system

  • The proposed method, which is a combination between steganography and cryptography (Encryption), is a process showing how to encode messages in such a way that hackers cannot know of their existence, but only an authorized person can

  • Hidden features of the encrypted text should be more than what the original text has but this is not sufficient, so the encryption algorithm should be evaluated by other metrics

Summary

Introduction

Security and privacy are very important features in a modern system. Any communication process will be useless if it is unsecure. Intruders try to take a copy of the message to steal important information, and they may alter some information or delete it. Many security methods were proposed to protect the transmission lines. Cryptography and steganography are examples of these methods. One of the problems that faces cryptography is that by sending the encrypted text (cipher text) anyone in the middle way between sender and receiver can understand that there is some secret information in this cipher text. Steganography, on the other hand, hides the secret message in the cover media, so nobody in the middle way between sender and receiver can find out that there is an important data hidden in the sending file
