Abstract
Cryptography and steganography are the most widely utilized and adopted fields of secure data communication. Data transfer can be secured using a combination of these methods. The data is transmitted from sender to receiver using cryptography, the most secure method. At the same time, steganography performs the information hiding in the form of video, image, or text within a cover image. The sensitive data is hidden, so it is not visible to the human eye. The data is stored and transferred more securely by adding DNA technology to the cryptography. It provides additional data security level and is most commonly employed to implement computation. This research developed a new method for combining cryptography with steganography. There are two phases to the proposed method: image encryption and hide phases and image extraction phases. Encryption is done by using the Signcryption algorithm. Four standard images were utilized as test material for the evaluation. Four factors are used to determine the performance of the proposed method as Peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), Mean Square Error, Entropy, and Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) for hiding and extracting the messages. The implementation is done in python. The proposed method achieves better performance when compared to the previously published works.
