Skin Detection Based Cryptography in Steganography (SDBCS)

As the popularity of digital cameras increases, some limitations of digital technology are becoming apparent and on the other hand it has become imperative to ensure security of information. Looking ahead towards the authentication scheme with a view to optimize it. Skin detection [1] is a very popular and useful technique for detecting and tracking human-body parts. It receives much attention mainly because of its wide range of applications such as, face detection and tracking, naked people detection, hand detection and tracking, people retrieval in databases and Internet, etc. With this view we proposed a novel method in steganography using skin color detection scheme. In this method we introduced a Two Way security mechanism in steganography using skin color detection scheme as well as cryptography. To ensure the strength of cryptography we used JCA (Java Cryptography Architecture).
