Abstract:

Hackers reveal sensitive information from encrypted conversations as the globe has become one community. As a result, steganography and cryptography are used together to safeguard sensitive data more effectively than previous approaches and newly developed algorithms. A double-secure algorithm for text steganography (DSTS) is the safest approach compared to the paragraph hiding method (PHM) and capital alphabet shape encoding (CASE) method. In this context, the paragraph hiding method uses ASCII coding, which is not a standard method, and the CASE method has a security issue that if someone understands its applicability, it can be easily attacked. DSTS algorithm overcomes its limitations by using UTF-16 coding and enhances the security of CASE with a one-time pad (OTP). The one-time pad is a theoretically unbreakable cryptographic method. Still, it is not feasible for long messages, however, it is usable for short messages such as a password or intelligence agency’s more secure messages. DSTS degrades the average hiding capacity in a PHM from 2.06% to 1% due to UTF-16 coding. Using the UTF-8 method, the authors have improved MDSTS and the CMPHM by 6.49% and 7.76% hiding capacity, which outperforms in existing procedures; in the CMPHM, there is one reason for the improvement in hiding capacity is using the LZW compression method. CMHPM algorithm optimization standard deviation is less than that of the HPM, DSTS, and MDSTS, ultimately increasing speed.
