摘要

In the current world, where new and complex threats are formulated daily, there is nowhere that data confidentiality and integrity are more important. The idea of this paper focuses on integrating cryptography and steganography to create a strong security armor against cyber threats. Coupled with this is the difference where cryptography makes data access impossible to understand to any unauthorized personnel while steganography assumes that the message’s very existence is hidden, and instead of looking for the data, one will find, for instance an image or an audio clip. Such a dual-layered strategy improves data protection noticeably. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) that is efficient and has an unmatched symmetric key of key size offers genre data confidentiality and is resistant to the brute force attacks. On the other hand, RSA algorithm proves effective in key management because of safe exchange of encryption keys over the insecure channel due to its asymmetrical cryptographic design. Even though it is very powerful, cryptographic techniques alone may stumble when facing attacks on implementations or bad key management. To reduce such risks, this paper will recommend the use of steganography alongside cryptography. Steganography hides encrypted data and thus alarms the potential attackers and provide extra level of protection. With assistance of such methods the approach uses advantages of both cryptography which encrypts the data and steganography which conceals it providing the organism defense from modern threats. This fusion provides a security paradigm that is capable of addressing the new security challenges facing the information society.
