Abstract
Steganography is the skill of hiding the existence of data in other transmission medium to attain secret communication. It does not restore cryptography but quite boost the security using its abstruse features. In this paper we have surveyed on a Steganography and cryptography techniques which provide highly secure skin tone data hiding. Biometric characteristic used to apply steganography is skin tone region of images. Here important data is implanted within skin region of image which will give an outstanding secure location for data hiding. For this skin tone detection is need to be performed. Different steps of data hiding can be applied by cropping an image interactively. Cropping of an image improved security than hiding data without cropping the whole image, so cropped region works as a key at decoding region. Cryptography algorithm is used to convert the secret messages to an unreadable form before embedding; which provides a strong backbone for data security. This survey paper focuses on illuminating the technique to secure data or message with authenticity and non repudiation. So with this object oriented steganogaphy we track skin tone objects in image with the higher security and satisfactory PSNR . Modern steganography's goal is to keep its mere presence undetectable.
