An Integration of Keyless Encryption, Steganography, and Artificial Intelligence for the Secure Transmission of Stego Images

Abstract

Protected stored data as well as transfer in this virtual environment have been a significant thing since this world wide web has been used for information exchange. The need for data security rises as the level of personal data exchanged on the web is becoming more susceptible. To protect information from malicious use as well as alteration, services like confidential information but also data integrity have been needed. So many traditional cryptographic methods have been proposed by numerous studies throughout recent times to maintain multimedia data communicated over public networks. The chapter proposes a novel keyless picture encryption algorithm focused on a chaotic map. Almost every picture element is encoded by shuffling pixel values, which would be measured by an adapted cat map. In this suggested technique, steganography is used to transfer keyless encrypted information using a cover picture with encrypted information inserted in picture, audio, and video files.
