An Efficient Information Hiding Mechanism based on Confusion Component over Local Ring and Moore-Penrose Pseudo Inverse
Authors: ,
Abstract: The basic requirement by adding confusion is to ensure the confidentiality of the secret
information. In the present article, we have suggested new methodology for the construction of
nonlinear confusion component. This confusion component is used for enciphering the secret
information and hiding it in a cover medium by proposed scheme. The proposed scheme is based
on ring structure instead of Galois field mechanism. To provide multi-layer security, secret
information is first encrypted by using confusion component and then utilized three different
substitution boxes (S-boxes) to hide into the cover medium
