Randomly-based Stepwise Multi-Level Distributed Medical Image Steganography

Abstract

Steganography deals with concealing sensitive information that can either be communicated across a network or stored in a secured location. The concealment of information is accomplished through the carrier, making data access by an unauthorized person more difficult. There are many stenographic techniques that have been used. Unfortunately, the hybrid-multi-level approach was ignored. For this reason, the current research utilized image steganography on a hybrid-multi level involving encryption, data compression, and two-stage high data concealment. The proposed technique can be used to conceal information in medical images without any distortion, allowing flexible and secure transfer capability. After using the Trible DES algorithm to encrypt the secret text at the beginning of the process, the next step involves embedding the secret encrypted cipher message into the host image while keeping the image intact. The findings indicate that the value of PSNR and NCC are satisfactory when compared to the sensitivity of the human eye. As a direct impact, the confidential message is hidden from the adversary. It can be seen that the PSNR value is quite high. Therefore, this indicates that the image after the stenographic process is relatively similar to the original image.

Improved Whale Optimization Algorithm with Deep Learning-Driven Retinal Fundus Image Grading and Retrieval

“…Finally, the Mayfly Optimization with KELM (MFO-KELM) method was executed for classification. In [12], a novel AI with an Optimal DCNN (AI-ODCNN) system was proposed for RFIC, using Gaussian blur noise removal and CLAHE-based contrast advancement to preprocess the RFI. In addition, DCNN with RMSProp Optimization was used for RFIC.…”

A Deep Learning Model to Inspect Image Forgery on SURF Keypoints of SLIC Segmented Regions

“…Digital image forgery is classified into active [4][5] and passive [6] approaches. The active approach means that when an image is created, some information is included within it to achieve the principle of attributing the image to its owner.…”
