Text hiding using artificial neural networks

Abstract EN

The growth of information technology and data transfer led to increase the data attacks, so that information security becomes an important issue to keep the data saved during information exchanges in computer networks.

Steganography techniques used to protect the information from being detected.

The art of steganography will hide secret information into cover data, which will be sending without any change so the attack does not recognize any change into cover image.

This paper use the Steganography and artificial neural networks to presents an information hiding procedure for hiding text in cover image, the secret text will be converted to binary code, also the cover image will be converted to the binary data in form of vectors.

The supervised learning of neural networks will use binary patterns of hidden text as set of input values, and the corresponding cover image data as target that used as teacher signal to neural network.

The generated weights from neural network and the coordinate of data block of cover image have been saved and then used to extract hidden text data.
