Cryptography

History of Cryptography

Cryptography Greek word means secret writing Kryptos meansHidden, Graphein means writing is the mathematical scrambling ofdata into unreadable form to preserve confidentiality.

There are three eras in the history of Cryptography

The Manual era,The Mechanical era,The Modern era

Mechanical era refers to the invention of cipher machines.

The modern era of cryptography refers to computers

Cryptography

What is Cryptography ?

Cryptography is an art of Secret writing

Cryptography is the process of converting plaintext into ciphertext,thesecret message encrypted or scrambled by using algorithms,thealgorithms convert the secret message into a non readable

K refers to key

Cryptography

Types of Cryptography ?

Symmetric ciphers are used to achieve cryptographic primitives.

Symmetric cryptography is divided into three subclasses: Classical,Mechanical and Modern Ciphers

Classical classified into a number of smaller subclasses: Substitutionand Transposition Ciphers

A monoalphabetic substitution cipher relies on a fixed replacementstructure such as:-The Caesar Cipher, The Atbash Cipher and TheAffine Cipher

Cryptography

Affine Cipher

In this approach , the affine cipher took place

Affine cipher uses modulo operation to transform the integer ofplaintext into the integer of ciphertext. The integer of cipher textcorresponds to ciphertext letter.

C = ((a ∗ P) + k)mod26 (1)

The parameters a and k are the key for this cipher and 26 is thelength of the alphabetic, C refers to ciphertext.

C = ((a ∗ P) + k)mod26 (1)

Affine Cipher

For decryption process

P = a−1 ∗ (C − k)mod26 (2)

a is an integer which must be relatively prime to 26. In other words,great common divisor (a, 26) must be equal to 1

Multiplication inverse

a−1 = (((i ∗ 26) + 1)/key) (3)

,i is a counter.

Steganography

History of Steganography

The first recorded uses of steganography can be traced back to 440BC when Herodotus mentions two examples of steganography in hishistories

Ancient Greeks used wax tablets as reusable writing surfaces,sometimes used for shorthand.

Ancient Chinese wrote messages on fine silk, which was thencrunched into a tiny ball and covered in wax.

Special inks were important steganographic tools even during SecondWorldWar

Steganography

What is Steganography

Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden messages.

The message is hidden in cover object that could be media text,images, audio, or video.

Steganography has two processes which are embedded and extracting.

Embedding is use to hide data to cover object.

Extracting is use to get the data back.

Least Significant Bit

It is an image steganography in which least significant bits of pixels ofthe image or the last bit pixels of image is replaced with data bitsfrom secret message.

Weakness in Cryptography and Steganography

In cryptography, it can be broken by brute force algorithm ormathematical calculation.

In steganography, it could be attack by analyzing the pattern of stegoobject or statistical method.

Steganography and Cryptography alone is not sufficient.

Implementation

On this research, the combination of affine cipher and LSB helps thedata to be more secured

Implementation

For example to perform cryptography and steganography we are goingto make the whole algorithm on original word DRW.

BY using the equation of the affine cipher with key a=23 and k=7 onthe word DRW will be encrypted to YIT.

C = ((a x P) + k) mod 26

Then using the ascii code table to convert YIT to bits

Implementation

C = ((a x P) + k) mod 26

Implementation

C = ((a x P) + k) mod 26

Implementation

C = ((a x P) + k) mod 26

Implementation

The message is fully encrypted using a combination between affinecipher and LSB

The receiver should know and use the same key to decrypt this imageand to get the original plan text

So now if the receiver has the stego image and want to know what isthe original message will start to extract the stego image then decryptthe cipher text

Implementation

To decrypt the stego image first it should change the RGB numbersto bits

Figure: 1

Implementation

Figure: 1

Implementation

Then taking the last bit of the stego object

the set of binary strings divided into 8 characters

The result of each 8 characters the binary is converted into ASCIIcharacters

The last bits of the stego image will be 01011001 01001001,01010100

Implementation

Converting the bits to ASCII Characters YIT.

Now after extracting the stego image we have to decrypt the ciphertext YIT

Using the decryption equation

P = a−1 ∗ (C − k)mod26 (4)

The plaintext obtained will be DRW

Implementation

P = a−1 ∗ (C − k)mod26 (4)

Implementation

P = a−1 ∗ (C − k)mod26 (4)

Implementation

P = a−1 ∗ (C − k)mod26 (4)

Results

The length of text is directly proportional to the time the encryptionor decryption

Conclusion

LSB can only accomodate 1 bit for each component R, G or B so asto accommodate a 1 character (8 bit data), it takes 64 bits of thecover image. Caused by it then to hide the data that is needed, coverimage, measuring at least 8 x the size of the message.

The combination of affine cipher and the LSB can secure the dataproperly original message can be returned as the inherent quality ofthe original image and the epoch of the image that you inserted themessage nearly as insubstantial and indistinguishable
