Abstract

Information security researchers are interested in maintaining the secrecy, reliability and accessibility of data. The importance of information security comes from the need for protecting information and information system from unauthorized access, revelation, disruption, alteration, annihilation and use. Steganography and Cryptography are the two major techniques for information security. Steganography is the process that primarily concerned with hiding existent data in another transmission medium to achieve secret communication while Cryptography is about hiding the content of the message or scrambling it. However, steganography does not take the place of cryptography but rather boosts the security using its obscurity features. In this paper, the security of a previously proposed image steganography method SMMWB (Secret Message Matching With Braille) will be promoted by using the principle of disinformation instead of encryption as previously proposed methods, which means if the image steganography method has been steganalysed the eavesdropper will be able to read a fake secret message,he has been implicitly directed to read, not the real one.
