Abstract -
We live in a world full of things connected to each other in various complex ways. A great deal of our time goes in interacting with one of the most important such things – Images. The need for securing the relay of images over the less secure networks increases as is the need for the simplest of the tasks such as viewing or editing an image. Image steganography is the procedure of hiding a secure message in a cover image thus creating a stego image which can secure the message throughout its course of travel from the sender to the receiver. In the present paper, we propose an advanced image encryption algorithm based on fuzzy transform [1] in two variables. The two variables being the values of the two dimensions of the image. The idea is to preprocess the image to reduce the file size but keeping the quality intact by using the F-transform and edge detection technology, then embedding it in the cover image, thus producing a much robust stego image with the least deviations in CSV values [2].
