Parallel Chaos Hash based LSB Steganography Technique using Logistic Map
Author
Abstract

Multicore Computing Security - This paper deals with hash based secure chaotic steganography technique for hiding secret information, into the cover image. Hash function has been used in the proposed work for computing the Non LSB positions for hiding the secret data bits. Secret is encoded with chaotic sequences and randomness of the sequences has been validated with NIST test suite. Shared memory implementation for faster execution of the proposed security technique has been done in OpenMP platform. Sequential and the parallel versions of the techniques have been implemented in C++, OpenMP and simulated in the Intel Haswell processor based multi-core environment. With the advantages offered by multicore processors the proposed technique ensures low time complexity. Significant speedup and linear scalability have been reported with increase in the number of threads. Standard statistical validation test results viz. PSNR, Euclidean distance, histogram analysis, SSIM index applied to validate the quality of stego image show satisfactory results.
