In this paper, a novel color image hiding scheme that is capable of hiding two color secret images into a color host image is proposed. The secret images to be embedded are first compressed by the single bit map block truncation coding. DES encryption is then conducted on the compressed message before the secret image is embedded into the rightmost 3, 2, 3 bits of the R, G, B channels of every ...

Medical images are commonly stored in digital media and transmitted via Internet for certain uses. If a medical information image alters, this can lead to a wrong diagnosis which may create a serious health problem. Moreover, medical images in digital form can easily be modified by wiping off or adding small pieces of information intentionally for certain illegal purposes. Hence, the reliabilit...

Advances in network communications have necessitated secure local-storage and transmission of multimedia content. In particular, military networks need to securely store sensitive imagery which at a later stage may be transmitted over bandwidth-constrained wireless networks. This work investigates compression efficiency of JPEG and JPEG 2000 standards for encrypted images. An encryption techniq...

Satellite image Security is playing a vital role in the field of communication system and Internet. This work is interested in securing transmission of Meteosat images on the Internet, in public or local networks. To enhance the security of Meteosat transmission in network communication, a hybrid encryption algorithm based on Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA) al...

Due to the rapid growth of digital communication and multimedia application, security becomes an important issue of communication and storage of images. Image security has found a great need in many applications where the information (in the form of image) is to be protected from unauthorized access. Encryption is one of the ways to ensure high security. In recent years, encryption technology h...

Non-adaptive and adaptive algorithms are used for edge based LSB steganography and various papers present the results of there algorithms on gray-scale images only. This paper presents the results of analyzing the performance of non-adaptive and adaptive edge-based LSB steganography for colored images. Both these algorithms have been slightly modified for colored image implementation and are co...
