Victor Onomza Waziri, Idris Suleiman . Cyber Warfare and Terrorism based on Data Transmission through Classical Cryptographic and Steganographic Algorithms. International Journal of Computer Applications. 112, 16 ( February 2015), 10-14. DOI=10.5120/19749-1546
The introduction of Internet has made it easier for everyone to access almost all information from different locations globally. This has made sensitive information prone to attack by malicious attackers. It therefore becomes important to come with measures that can be used to protect data on transmission from falling into wrong hands and to deliver some crucial messages surreptitiously especially at this age of political and religious cyber terrorism. In this paper, we propose a method of combining the features of cryptography and steganography to provide security to data in the Internet. We employ the techniques of vigenere cipher to scramble the message and then embed the encrypted message using the least significant bit method. The method provides confidentiality to information disseminations with the assumption that the adversary does not have the decrypting oracle mechanism.
