Message Security Through AES and LSB Embedding in Edge Detected Pixels of 3D Images

Abstract

This paper proposes an advanced scheme of message security in 3D cover images using multiple layers of security. Cryptography using AES–256 is implemented in the first layer. In the second layer, edge detection is applied. Finally, LSB steganography is executed in the third layer. The efficiency of the proposed scheme is measured using a number of performance metrics. For instance, mean square error (MSE), peak signal–to–noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index measure (SSIM), mean absolute error (MAE) and entropy.
