English Abstract

In recent years, Internet and mobile is widely used for communication.

Short Messaging Service (SMS) and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) are the most popular services provided by the telecommunication companies.

These services make the communication so fast and easy; attention toward information security must be increased, protection becomes a necessity because of the threats to the privacy and security.

Hiding technique or as called Steganographic is used to hide the transferred secret information existence with other information.

When data is hidden within text or image apparently may look the same for the naked eye of a person.

The Steganography software for mobile application is designed upon using the mobile phone messaging architecture system and use Steganography technique to hide secret messages into SMS and MMS covers , by using SOAP algorithm to embedded secret message into cover message and generate Stego text (SMS) and using LSB algorithm to embed secret message into cover image and generate Stego image (MMS) and using the same menu for the messages of the mobile phone system to send messages to one or more users at the same time, and it is possible to extract directly the hidden secret message by the receiver.

This software is implemented by using J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) programming language and our dependence flexibility of the software load on all types mobiles that have the property of the send messages without any modification or conditions for flexible software and ease of capacity and conclusion that steganography software can demonstrate both reliability and portability at the same time.

The result of the proposed solution shows that using the Steganography technique in SMS and MMS, we used the same facility of the messages in the mobile phone system will increase the protection of the privacy and secrecy of sent messages.
