This research proposes an efficient security system for hiding classified Arabic text-data on limited processors devices benefiting from the combination of both techniques: light-weight cryptography (LWC) and Arabic text steganography. The work assumes to secure the sensitive text-data on devices suffering low resource allocation by layer of LWC encryption to provide acceptable security. In this work, we use a two-layer technique, where we firstly encrypt the Arabic secret text-data examining effectiveness of different LWC algorithms, i.e. AES, DES, and IDEA; then, embedding the encrypted data into diacritics within Arabic text cover media. The work tested the possibility of accepting LWC security of AES, IDEA, and DES encryption assuming their suitable effect on the text stego-cover. The work runs numerous different experimentations to study the preference, where LWC selection of DES algorithm finds the applicable scheme giving acceptable security in efficient manner.

Nowadays, the proliferation done on information systems had led to an alarming increase in security breaches. This security trend is now viewed as an essential foundation in the success of the information systems platforms planning, development and administration stages. The ideal way to protect the integrity and ownership of information within the transmission are performed via watermarking. It generally embeds secret data in the intended e-text media for the user's integrity proof purposes afterwards. The challenge comes in full verification as if parts of this watermarking data are corrupted. This work presents Arabic e-text watermarking supporting partial dishonesty situations benefiting from counting-based secret sharing. In this paper, we are utilizing the extension Arabic character ""Kashida" to serve for hiding the watermarking data. The process of hiding watermarking bits is considering full security, which is not to hide the secrets directly as previous references. This work uses the password to ignite counting-based secret sharing to generate the stream shares of watermarking hidden bits to be embedded. The research tests our proposed Arabic e-text watermarking approach using four existing methods of data hiding. The comparisons have been run on the Arabic benchmark of Imam Nawawi's forty hadeeth as standard text statements (40 Prophet Hadiths) indicating interesting remarkable results and promising research contributions.

“…The hiding process depends mainly on the full Arabic text diacritics (Fathah, Kasrah, Dammah, Fathatan, Dammatan, Kasratan, Sukun and Shaddah); where the results are in the form of stego-text that is safe for public distribution, assuming its secret cannot be easily detected or even known to be present. This stego hiding within Arabic text is similar in principle to the efficient hiding of [27] but utilizing diacritics instead of Unicode features.…”

Cryptography and steganography are combined to provide practical data security. This paper proposes integrating light-weight cryptography with improved Arabic text steganography for optimizing security applications. It uses light-weight cryptography to cope with current limited device capabilities, to provide acceptable required security. The work tests hiding encrypted secret information within Arabic stego-cover texts, using all common diacritics found naturally in the Arabic language. The study considers different challenging situations and scenarios in order to evaluate security practicality. It further carries out simulations on some short texts from the Holy Quran, taking them as standard authentic texts, that are fixed and trusted, therefore providing realistic study feedback that is worth monitoring. Our improved approach features preferred capacity and security, surpassing the best previous diacritics stego approach, showing interesting potential results for attractive enlightening exploration to come.
