Examining the Application of Deep LSTM Neural Networks in Steganography of Textual Information in Digital Images

Information security has emerged as a critical concern alongside the development of multimedia technology. Among the myriad security challenges, the secure transmission of sensitive information between parties has become a focal point of researchers. Encryption, involving mathematical techniques to ensure data security, is explored in this study. Specifically, the application of deep LSTM neural networks in concealing textual information within digital images is investigated. The approach involves embedding one image within another in a manner that prevents detection of the hidden image within the cover image, while textual content is covertly embedded within the image. The proposed method demonstrates superior performance based on three evaluation metrics—Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) in decibels, Mean Squared Error (MSE), and accuracy rate in percentage—compared to three other benchmark images (lena.png, peppers.png, mandril.png, and monkey.png), achieving values of 93.665275 dB, 0.6945 MSE, and 97.23% accuracy, respectively.

Design of High-Secure Digital/Optical Double Color Image Encryption Assisted by 9D Chaos and DnCNN

With the rapid development of multimedia technology, securing the transfer of images becomes an urgent matter. Therefore, designing a high-speed/secure system for color images is a real challenge. A nine-dimensional (9D) chaotic-based digital/optical encryption schem is proposed for double-color images in this paper. The scheme consists of cascaded digital and optical encryption parts. The nine chaotic sequences are grouped into three sets, where each set is responsible for encryption one of the RGB channels independently. One of them controls the fusion, XOR operation, and scrambling-based digital part. The other two sets are used for controlling the optical part by constructing two independent chaotic phase masks in the optical Fourier transforms domain. A denoising convolution neural network (DnCNN) is designed to enhance the robustness of the decrypted images against the Gaussian noise. The simulation results prove the robustness of the proposed scheme as the entropy factor reaches an average of 7.997 for the encrypted color lena-baboon images with an infinite peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) for the decrypted images. The designed DnCNN operates efficiently with the proposed encryption scheme as it enhances the performance against the Gaussian noise, where the PSNR of the decrypted Lena image is enhanced from 27.01 dB to 32.56 dB after applying the DnCNN.

Exploring the Relationship among Multimedia Input, Working Memory and L2 Vocabulary Learning

With the advancement in online educational platforms in the present world, multimedia technologies have become a more easily accessed resource in language learning pedagogy than before. Different areas of language pedagogy are benefitting from the use of these multimedia technologies. The present research aims to explore the pertinent effect of multimedia language teaching input on L2 vocabulary building of learners by examining the way they enhance the learners’ working memory efficacy. The study employs an experimental research design by giving two types of WM strategic input (i.e., traditional verbal input and multimedia input) separately to two homogenous groups of 50 graduate ESL learners and observing their effectiveness in their vocabulary development. The study has used two research tools to collect data from the participants. The first is Wesche and Paribakht’s (1996) The Vocabulary Knowledge test which rates the vocabulary knowledge of the participants, and the second is a self-designed Working Memory cloze test to check the efficacy of the participants’ working memory through their vocabulary achievement. The participants are judged twice on the two scales, first before the treatment (pre-test 1 & 2), and second, after the treatment (posttest1 & 2). The results are obtained by comparing the participants’ mean scores of the vocabulary knowledge and working memory in pre and posttests of both variables. T-tests have also been run to see the improvement in learners’ VK and WM, and regression analysis has been carried out to see the relationship among the variables. The findings reveal that both WM strategies, i.e., verbal input and multimedia input are helpful in the development of learners’ vocabulary and working memory efficacy, and that verbal input and multimedia input are both positively related with VK and WM. However, the former (multimedia input) is more effective in enhancing the learners’ vocabulary knowledge and working memory efficacy as compared to the latter (verbal input). The findings are significant for the L2 learners, teachers, administrators, and the policy makers alike because they suggest that multimedia technologies should be incorporated to the maximum level of use in L2 classes for the learners’ vocabulary building.
