Abstract - This project is to make a secure and robust method
of information exchange so that confidential and private data
must be protected against cyber attacks and illegal access.
Various algorithms are developed for data hiding as of now
but each have some limitations and some advantages too.
According to the level and kind of application one or more
data hiding method are used. Data hiding can be done in
audio, video, text, image and in other form of information.
Some data hiding techniques emphasizes on digital image
security and robustness of digital image hiding process while
other’s main focus is on imperceptibility of digital image. Hide
is also a main concern in some of the applications. Here AES-
256 algorithm is used to encrypt the user data and then using
advanced LSB technique Data can be hidden in any fileformat
such that except the sender and receiver, no one even suspects
the existence of the secret hidden Data. Thedatamaybeof any
kind of file from normal text file to huge video achieved.

1. INTRODUCTION
Capacity of digital Information which has to hide is also the
main concern in some of the applications. Here AES-256
algorithm is used to encrypt the user data and then using
advanced LSB technique Data can be hidden in any file
format such that except the sender andreceiver, nooneeven
suspects the existence of the secret hidden Data. The data
may be of any kind of file from normal text file to huge video
achieved. We are in the world of digitization. Each and
everything are digital, Digital Information is ubiquitous
nowadays. For the integration,confidentialityandsecurityof
Digital Information, traditional data hiding schemes have to
be upgraded and need to be used in conjunction with other
schemes.
1.1SECURE DIGITAL INFORMATION
For this various schemes has been proposed to protect and
secure the Digital Information which are stegnography,
watermarking and cryptography and their combinations. All
of these schemes have differentissuestohandleanddifferent
aims to be achieved which is particularly depends upon the
type of application domain in which Digital Information is
being used and manipulated. Security, robustness and
fragility are the main concern which are associated with
these data hiding techniquesand someparametersarebeing
used forthe acceptability of schemebeing used subjecttothe
above concerns which may have differentvaluesfordifferent
applications.
2. TO ACHIEVE ROBUSTNESS
The key of this project is to achieve two or more than two
parameters i.e. Security, robustness, imperceptibility and
capacity but some of the parameters are trade-off which
mean only one can be achieved on the cost of other. So the
data hiding techniques aiming to achieve maximum
requirements i.e. security, robustness, capacity,
imperceptibility etc. and which can be utilized in larger
domain of applications is desired.

watermarking.

2. Cannot Process Higher data files and Application.EXE
files.
3. Lacks Two Factor Authentication so lacks Data
security during transmission.
4. Needs High memory Space (RAM Usage) during Data
Processing.
5. PROPOSED SYSTEM
In order to achieve the Secure transmission over internet
securely Original File is secretly hidden in a Normal File of
any kind. RSA Key is taken as a cover medium for encryption
and AES 256 algorithm is used for encryption.
In this proposed method advanced LSB bit manipulation
method is used for embedding the message in the any DATA
file and the message is itself encrypted using the existing
RSA Key.
Fig -1: SECURED COMMUNICATION
For embedding the Secret File in Data filefirstlyboththeinfo
are converted into binary equivalent and then text is
encrypted. The encrypted secret file is then embedded into
the Data file.
At the receiver side, the sent Normal DATA file must be
selected to extract the secret Data File.Afterselectingthefile
and advanced lsb method is applied to extract the encrypted
message and this message is decrypted using the Reverse
AES 256 algorithm. A comparison is made between the
original image file and the embedded one to indicate CRC.

of data transfer via internet made it easier to send the data
withaccuracy and faster to the destination. Besides this,
anyone can modify and misuse the valuable information
through hacking at the same time. This paperpresents video
steganography with digital watermarking techniques as an
efficient and robust tool for protection. This paper is a
combination of Steganography and watermarking which

Using Steganography and published in 2013 IEEE
12th International Symposium on Parallel and
Distributed Computing. It is a truth universally
acknowledged that “a picture is worth a thousand words”.
The emerge of digital media has taken this quote to a new
level. By using steganography, one can hide not only 1000,
but thousands of words even in an averagesized image.
This article presents various types of techniques usedby
modern digital steganography,as well asthe implementation
of the least significant bit (LSB) method. The main objective
is to create an application which uses insertion of LSB in
order to encode data into a cover image. Both serial and
parallel version are proposed and an analysis of
performances is made byimages ranging from 1.9 to 131
megapixels.

Chang, Dept. of Computer Engineering Chonbuk National
University, Republic of Korea done Design and
Implementation of HDFS Data Encryption Scheme using
ARIA Algorithm on Hadoop and published in 2017 IEEE
International Conference on Big Data and Smart Computing.
Hadoop is developed as a distributed data processing
platform for analyzing big data. Enterprises can analyze big
data containing users’ sensitive information by using
Hadoop and utilize them for their marketing. Therefore,
researches on data encryptionarewidelydonetoprotectthe
leakage of sensitive data present in Hadoop. However, the
existing researches support only the AES international
standard data encryption algorithm. Meanwhile, the
Korean government selected ARIA algorithm as a standard
data encryption scheme for domestic usages. In this paper,
we propose a HDFS data encryption scheme which
supports both ARIA and AES algorithms on Hadoop. First,
the proposed scheme provides a HDFS block-
splitting component that performs ARIA/AES encryption
and decryption under the Hadoop distributed computing
environment. Second, the proposed scheme provides
a variable-length data processing component that
can perform encryption and decryption by adding
dummy data, in case when the last data block does not
contains 128-bit data. Finally, we show from performance
analysis that our proposed scheme is efficient for
various applications, such as word counting, sorting, k-
Means, and hierarchical clustering.
8.1 AES ALGORITHM
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a combination of
both substitution and permutation, and is fast in both
software and hardware.
Most AES calculations are done in a 2 special finite field. The
number of repetitions of transformation rounds that
converts the input, called the plaintext, into the final output,
called the cipher text is denoted by the key size of an AES
Cipher. Each each containing four similar but different
stages, including one that depends on the encryption key
itself.

11. RESULT
The purpose of hiding information depends on the
application and the needs of the owner of digital media.
Some requirements of data hiding are: Reliability- Reliable
communication is one of the properties of the data hiding.
The data hiding should guarantee the reliable transmission
of the information to the recipient. Security- The data hiding
Method should provide security for data such that only
intended user can access it, in other words it is unable of
unauthorized user to access secrete information. Payload
Capacity- It refers to the amount ofsecretinformationcanbe
hidden in the cover medium. So, provide the sufficient
embedding capacity. Robustness- It refers to the amount of
information that can be hidden without any effect and
destroying hidden information.
12. CONCLUSION
Nowadays, information hiding techniques become more
important in a number of applications. Such as Digital audio,
video, and images, which may contain a hidden copyright
notice or help to prevent unauthorized copyright. Military
communications systems makes more use of traffic security
techniques.In this project work a new system for the
combination of both encryption with data hiding has been
presented which couldbeprovenasa highlysecuredmethod
for data communication in near future. The proposed High
secured system is tested and a research is made by taking
Data samples andhidingtheminimages/audiofiles/videoor
even a document. The results that are obtained from these
experiments and time took for encoding and decoding the
file are noted down. The Proposed algorithm provides more
security in comparison to previous algorithm.
