A New Modified Fatha Method For Arabic Text Steganography Hybrid With Aes Encryption

Abstract

Growing the size of attacks that listed during the passing of data between the sending and the receiving has really demand to get high robust method for transfer information in secure manner. Both of cryptography and steganography are familiar and more utilized techniques which process data for encrypt and conceal the secret message, respectively. Two techniques are participating in the same aims and security services like: confidentiality, integrity and availability for secret message from not allowed access. In our paper we focused on the strength of combination between two techniques and this paper presents a new modified fatha in Arabic text in steganography. This method is depend on the existence of Harakt in majority of Arabic alphabets. On this basis, information was hidden in text by modified Fatha which in same direction of original Fatha but with little oriented to be like original one and not be suspicious and observed as abnormal sign. We combined this new stego method with AES encryption.
