“…The closer the output file is from the original file, the better the security will be as it is less detectable analysing the image size on The Least Significant Bits has a secret message hidden in it, and by doing so, it demonstrates how statistical analysis algorithms could identify the hidden message rapidly. It scans these least significant bits (LSB) is the base of most Steganographic algorithms [8]. Adding the compression step using Discrete Cosine Transform takes it to another level.…”

The advance of Big Data and Internet growth has driven the need for more abundant storage to hold and share data. People are sending more messages to one another and paying attention to the aspects of privacy and security as opposed to previous decades. One of the types of files that are widely shared and instantaneous available over the web are images. They can become available as soon as a shot is taken and keep this closely related to the owner; it is not easy. It has been proposed here to use Steganography to embed information of the author, image description, license of usage and any other secrete information related to it. Thinking of this, an analysis of the best file types, considering capacity, detectability, and distortion was necessary to determine the best solution to tackle current algorithm weaknesses. The performance of BMP, GIF, and JPEG initialises the process of addressing current weaknesses of Steganographic algorithms. The main weaknesses are capacity, detectability and distortion to secure copyright images. Distributed Steganography technique also plays a crucial part in this experiment. It enhances all the file formats analysed. It provided better capacity and less detectability and distortion, especially with BMP. BMP has found to be the better image file format. The unique combination of Distributed Steganography and the use of the best file format approach to address the weaknesses of previous algorithms, especially increasing the capacity. It will undoubtedly be beneficial for the day to day user, social media creators and artists looking to protect their work with copyright.

“…Names, addresses of residence, birthdates, marital statusall these data should be kept in a secured way. However, to protect a printed document from unauthorized access is much harder than to ensure information security in a computer system where a document security management system can be used and both cryptography and steganography can be applied [12,13].…”

Background. Nowadays, matrix barcodes in general and QR codes in particular are widely used in multiple applications, when it is important to input data into a computer system in a fast and secure way (both error-free and protected from third parties). Their popularity was significantly increased since the era of smartphones had begun, and so consequently, new use cases and new problems have arisen. Specifically, one of the important issues is representing more information as a barcode symbol. Objective. The objective of the research is to develop a data barcoding method based on grayscale tricolor 2D barcode which enables representing more amounts of information with preservation of the area of a graphical symbol. Methods. The research is based on both the coding theory and the multicolor barcode concept, which allow to increase amounts of data that can be encoded and represented by one matrix barcode symbol. The proposed BGW barcoding method uses a combination of data transformations between several notation systems with the purpose of data compression.Results. The method of data encoding based on tricolor matrix barcodes is proposed and described. This method allows to compress input alphanumeric data and transform it into a 2D barcode symbol composed of BGW (black, gray, white) barcode patterns. Two use cases for the proposed method application are considered in the paper. The first use case concerns enhanced information input. The second one addresses the data protection issue. Conclusions. The proposed BGW barcoding method enables compact representation of a textual data. One of the benefits of the proposed method lies in a possibility to not only encode data but to compress it. Due to data compression, more information can be represented keeping the same dimensions of the graphically coded symbol. Depending on the parameters, especially barcode symbol digital capacity, compression can be up to 20-25%.
