Construction of small confusion component based on logarithmic permutation for hybrid information hiding scheme

The design and development of secure nonlinear cryptographic Boolean function plays an unavoidable measure for modern information confidentiality schemes. This ensure the importance and applicability of nonlinear cryptographic Boolean functions. The current communication is about to suggest an innovative and energy efficient lightweight nonlinear multivalued cryptographic Boolean function of modern block ciphers. The proposed nonlinear confusion element is used in image encryption of secret images and information hiding techniques. We have suggested a robust LSB steganography structure for the secret hiding in the cover image. The suggested approach provides an effective and efficient storage security mechanism for digital image protection. The technique is evaluated against various cryptographic analyses which authenticated our proposed mechanism.
