Combination of hiding and encryption for data security

Abstract

One of the techniques used in information security is the concealment technique, where the information to be hidden within another information medium to be saved in the process of messaging between two sides without detection. In this paper, an algorithm was proposed to conceal and encrypt data using several means. in order to ensure its preservation from detection and hackers. Wavelet transformer was used to change the shape of a wave of information (one and two-dimensional data) and its different mathematical formulas. Two sets of data were used, the first group used in a hidden process. The second group was considered as a means of both embedding and encryption. The data in the second group is reduced to the extent of sufficient for the modulation process, by extracting its high-value properties and then removing them from the mother's information wave. The process of encrypting of the two sets of data comes together using an exponential function. The result is undetectable information signals. Algorithms were built to hide and encrypt one and two-dimensional data. High-security signals and images were obtained. Decryption algorithms were built to return encrypted data to their original forms, and getting the replica data.
