    by Ali Sheidaee, Leyli Mohammad Khanli

    Information and Computer Security, Vol.1, No.1, 2018; 239 Views, 14 PDF Downloads, 0 Hiding Image into Another Meaningful Images Using Richardson-Lucy Algorithm with Data Authentication Downloads

    Image steganography is a technique of embedding sensitive information in images. In literature, research articles proposed different image steganography schemes on cover images based on different algorithms. Withal, stego images have less quality in HVS and lower performance. Another topic in image steganography is the quality of extracted data in receiver side that can be affected by transmission channel options or even by the attacks on stego images in transmission channel. In this paper discrete cosine transform (DCT) function and Motion Blur (based on Richardson-Lucy algorithm) is used for secret image transformation and secured hash file of the transformed image generated with RSA cryptosystem therewith. The randomness property of the resultant image reduces the possibility of its detection by HVS and steganalysis techniques. Image data embedding applied with LSBMR substitution algorithm into another significant image. Image deconvolution addressed in recent articles that used different methods such as edge extractions, Richardson-Lucy algorithm, Regularized filters and etc. We apply the Richardson-Lucy deconvolution basics in final secret image extraction to remove the noise. Several experiments and comparative studies are further presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in terms of performance, stego image quality and secret images quality maintenance.

    by Akram Boukhamla

    Information and Computer Security, Vol.1, No.1, 2018; 208 Views, 19 PDF Downloads, 0 Multi-Agent System for an Image Steganalysis Downloads

    Steganography is the science of data concealment, but it can be used by malicious people to use it for destructive purposes. For this reason, the presence of methods detecting Steganography becomes a necessity. The science of detecting Steganography is called steganalysis and evolves with new steganographic techniques. The purpose of this paper is to present a model for detecting the content of JPEG images that have been steganographed. Our work involves applying Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) in image steganalysis where we use ADMs to reduce the complexity of solving a problem by dividing the necessary knowledge into subsets, combining an independent intelligent agent to each of these subsets and coordinating the activity of these agents. We opted for the Java Agent Development Framework (JADE) platform for the development and realization of the inter-operable Multi-Agent System

    by Evgeni Nikolaevich Terentiev1, I. García-Magariño2, N. E. Shilin-Terentyev3, I. N. Prikhodko1, I. I. Farshakova1

    Information and Computer Security, Vol.1, No.1, 2018; 195 Views, 22 PDF Downloads, 0 The method of false vortices in designation problems of targets, road signs, facial features and real vortices in space images Downloads

    An image in one color is a scalar field. The image is associated with its vector gradient field. The analysis of vector fields with the help of single-length vector templates made it possible to indicate in the image such objects as vortices, Road Signs (RS), Facial Features (FF), and so on. The proposed method of indicating local objects using gradient fields turned out to be highly accurate and noise-proof. The presented advantages of the proposed method recommend it as a promising tool in targets designation problems.

Call for Papers for the Special Issue: Information and Computer Security

2019-06-06

The smart home ecosystem is still in its infancy and we can say that it is not really here yet and more is yet to be realized. The developing of speech recognition, face recognition, 5G as well as other computing infrastructure from various vendors is creating a new wave of issues and concerns. There is a growing concern in terms of security and privacy issues which hinders the adaptation of smart connected home ecosystem. This can also be argued that the issue of privacy is only a small issue and as soon as users are able to realize that they can do more and do things easier with the connected and seamless integration of devices and service, they will ignore the security and privacy concerns. Another issue to be considered is the issue of getting the wrong advice or information in particular in reference to health issues.
