Abstract
Steganography uses digital images as a medium for sending secret messages over insecure networks. There is also a least significant bit(LSB) that is a popular method of embedding secret messages in digital images. The goal of steganography is to securely and flawlessly transmit secret messages using stego media over a communication channel. There is a need for a method to improve resistance to reduce the risk of exposure to third parties. To safely hide secret messages, I propose new algorithms that go through crossing, encryption, chaos and concealment steps. After separating Hangul syllables into choseong, jungseong and jongseong, the bitwised message information is encrypted. After applying the logistic map, bitwised information is reconstructed using the position of the chaotic sequence. The secret message is inserted into the randomly selected RGB channel. PSNR and SSIM were used to confirm the effectiveness of the applied results. It was confirmed as 44.392(dB) and 0.9884, respectively.
