Security issues and data confidentiality are very important in the digital and internet era today. Important files circulating on the internet, both in the form of documents, images, and videos need to be supported with good security. This article aims to secure files by utilizing steganography technology, both in encryption and decryption of the file. The method used was the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) which was applied to Stego-Object. Experiments were done on document files with extensions .doc, .xlsx, .pdf, and .txt, also on image files with extensions .jpeg, .png, and. bitmap. The experimental results showed that AES can encrypt and decrypt quite effectively without changing the quality of files both images and documents. This research could develop for video files.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
