HIDDEN ENCRYPTED TEXT BASED ON SECRETE MAP EQUATION AND BIOINFORMATICS TECHNIQUES

摘要

The speedy development in informationtechnology desires the secure transmissionof confidential information that gets an excellent deal ofattention. Therefore; it's necessary to use effective methods to reinforce information security. Steganography is one in all leading technologies getting utilized around the world for along time. Biotechnological methods can be used for cryptography to improve security of data. Steganography is the act of hiding messages inside an image. Combining these two methods is a topic of high relevance since secure communication is inevitable for mankind. This research presents an analysis of steganography, by using LeastSignificantBit (LSB), DNA computing and creating a secret map for hiding data. The DNA computing was used to encrypt secret data, LSB was utilized to add the encrypted data into leastsignificantbits of the cover and the secret map was utilized to specify the location of hiding data. The same equation must be used by the sender and the receiver to create the secret map and the creation for this map depends on the shared key.
