A Review of Image Steganography Based on Multiple Hashing Algorithm

Steganography is a technique for hiding secret messages while sending and receiving communications through a cover item.From ancient times to the present,the security of secret or vital information has always been a significant problem.The development of secure communication methods that keep recipient-only data transmissions secret has always been an area of interest.Therefore,several approaches,including steganography,have been developed by researchers over time to enable safe data transit.In this review,we have discussed image steganography based on Discrete Cosine Transform(DCT)algorithm,etc.We have also discussed image steganography based on multiple hashing algorithms like the Rivest–Shamir–Adleman(RSA)method,the Blowfish technique,and the hash-least significant bit(LSB)approach.In this review,a novel method of hiding information in images has been developed with minimal variance in image bits,making our method secure and effective.A cryptography mechanism was also used in this strategy.Before encoding the data and embedding it into a carry image,this review verifies that it has been encrypted.Usually,embedded text in photos conveys crucial signals about the content.This review employs hash table encryption on the message before hiding it within the picture to provide a more secure method of data transport.If the message is ever intercepted by a third party,there are several ways to stop this operation.A second level of security process implementation involves encrypting and decrypting steganography images using different hashing algorithms.

Internet of Things(IoT)is an emerging technology that moves the world in the direction of smart things.But,IoT security is the complex problem due to its centralized architecture,and limited capacity.So,blockchain technology has great attention due to its features of decentralized architecture,transparency,immutable records and cryptography hash functions when combining with IoT.Cryptography hash algorithms are very important in blockchain technology for secure transmission.It converts the variable size inputs to a fixed size hash output which is unchangeable.Existing cryptography hash algorithms with digital signature have issues of single node accessibility and accessed up to 128 bytes of key size only.As well as,if the attacker tries to hack the key,it cancels the transaction.This paper presents the Modified Elliptic Curve Cryptography Multi Signature Scheme(MECC-MSS)for multiple node accessibility by finding nearest path for secure transaction.In this work,the input key size can be extended up to 512 bytes to enhance the security.The performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed with other cryptography hash algorithms like Secure Hashing Algorithms(SHAs)such as SHA224,SHA256,SHA384,SHA512,SHA3-224,SHA3-256,SHA3-384,SHA3-512 and Message Digest5 by one-way analysis of variance test in terms of accuracy and time complexity.Results show that the MECC-MSS achieves 90.85%of accuracy and time complexity of 1.4 nano seconds with significance less than 0.05.From the statistical analysis,it is observed that the proposed algorithm is significantly better than other cryptography hash algorithms and also having less time complexity.

Novel Block Chain Technique for Data Privacy and Access Anonymity in Smart Healthcare

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud computing are gaining popularity due to their numerous advantages, including the efficient utilization of internetand computing resources. In recent years, many more IoT applications have beenextensively used. For instance, Healthcare applications execute computations utilizing the user’s private data stored on cloud servers. However, the main obstaclesfaced by the extensive acceptance and usage of these emerging technologies aresecurity and privacy. Moreover, many healthcare data management system applications have emerged, offering solutions for distinct circumstances. But still, theexisting system has issues with specific security issues, privacy-preserving rate,information loss, etc. Hence, the overall system performance is reduced significantly. A unique blockchain-based technique is proposed to improve anonymityin terms of data access and data privacy to overcome the above-mentioned issues.Initially, the registration phase is done for the device and the user. After that, theGeo-Location and IP Address values collected during registration are convertedinto Hash values using Adler 32 hashing algorithm, and the private and publickeys are generated using the key generation centre. Then the authentication is performed through login. The user then submits a request to the blockchain server,which redirects the request to the associated IoT device in order to obtain thesensed IoT data. The detected data is anonymized in the device and stored inthe cloud server using the Linear Scaling based Rider Optimization algorithmwith integrated KL Anonymity (LSR-KLA) approach. After that, the Time-stamp-based Public and Private Key Schnorr Signature (TSPP-SS) mechanismis used to permit the authorized user to access the data, and the blockchain servertracks the entire transaction. The experimental findings showed that the proposedLSR-KLA and TSPP-SS technique provides better performance in terms of higherprivacy-preserving rate, lower information loss, execution time, and Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage than the existing techniques. Thus, the proposed method allows for better data privacy in the smart healthcare network.

A Robust Watermarking Scheme Based on ROI and IWT for Remote Consultation of COVID-19

In the current dire situation of the corona virus COVID-19,remote consultations were proposed to avoid cross-infection and regional differences in medical resources.However,the safety of digital medical imaging in remote consultations has also attracted more and more attention from the medical industry.To ensure the integrity and security of medical images,this paper proposes a robust watermarking algorithm to authenticate and recover from the distorted medical images based on regions of interest(ROI)and integer wavelet transform(IWT).First,the medical image is divided into two different parts,regions of interest and non-interest regions.Then the integrity of ROI is verified using the hash algorithm,and the recovery data of the ROI region is calculated at the same time.Also,binary images with the basic information of patients are processed by logistic chaotic map encryption,and then the synthetic watermark is embedded in the medical carrier image using IWT transform.The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested by the simulation experiments based on the MATLAB program in CT images of the lungs.Experimental results show that the algorithm can precisely locate the distorted areas of an image and recover the original ROI on the basis of verifying image reliability.The maximum peak signal to noise ratio(PSNR)value of 51.24 has been achieved,which proves that the watermark is invisible and has strong robustness against noise,compression,and filtering attacks.
