Hybrid Quantum Steganographic Techniques for Secure Data Concealment in Quantum Communication

Sujata Jagtap, Vaishali Jagtap

Modern information security measures have changed as a result of the quick development of quantum computing and communication technologies. As computing power increases, traditional steganography methods are more susceptible to quantum attacks. By using quantum mechanical features like superposition, entanglement, and quantum error-correcting algorithms to safely hide data, quantum steganography shows promise as a solution. Quantum steganography is an advanced cyber security method that offers full secrecy from either classical or quantum hacking. Using quantum-resistant methods for secure (biometric) transmission, anti-spoofing, and privacy-preserving authentication, this work presents a quantum steganography technique that expands upon the benefits of digital imaging's Novel Enhanced Quantum Representation (NEQR). Our research and testing have demonstrated that our method is secure against a variety of attacks and provides defense against present and potential dangers while preserving the steganography characteristics of capacity and imperceptibility, making it one of the greatest choices for transmitting confidential data.

Quantum steganography for secure data transmission

Gabriela Mogos, Ho-Pun Lam

Abstract Quantum steganography is an advanced method of hiding information within quantum systems, leveraging the unique properties of quantum mechanics-such as superposition, entanglement, and the no-cloning theorem-to achieve unbreakable secrecy. Quantum steganography provides perfect secrecy against both classical and quantum hacking, making it a cutting-edge technology in cybersecurity. This paper introduces a quantum steganography technique that builds on the advantages of of Novel Enhanced Quantum Representation (NEQR) of digital imaging and integrates quantum-resistant solutions for secure (biometric) transmission, anti-spoofing, and privacy-preserving authentication. Our analysis and experiments have shown that our approach is robust against several types of attacks, and offers protection against both current and future threats while maintaining the steganographic property of imperceptibility and capacity, making it one of the best options for secret information transmission.

PREREQUISITES FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A QUANTUM STEGANOGRAPHY COMMUNICATION

Veselka Stoyanova

Several approaches and techniques exist to make communication via the internet secure, one of these approaches is steganography. Computer steganography can be defined as a method of hiding data in cover media so that others are not aware of its existence. Quantum computers, built on the principles of quantum physics, have introduced new possibilities for researchers in security and computer science. This paper explores the fundamentals of quantum computing, its achievements, and the challenges and future prospects it presents in the field of cryptography and steganography. Quantum computers give us a new approach to different kinds of complicated problems in security fields by creating multi-state computing spaces. The article deals with the steganography system which hides text inside images and after that realize quantum communication. The secret message is hidden in the cover image using Least Significant Bit (LSB) algorithm. The paper proposes an information transmission scheme with a quantum channel enabled. Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a secure communication method that implements a cryptographic protocol involving components of quantum mechanics.

Efficient and Secure Communication of Quantum Image Steganography using 3-way’s of Authentication

K. C. Chandana, Vaithianathan Geetha

The concept of Cryptography and Steganography is not a new technique, even though it is ancient but not static. In Cryptography and Steganography the new emerging techniques are done using Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Physics. In this paper, mainly works on how to use Quantum Technique in cryptography system and in field of steganography. Steganography is a process of hiding information of the different types of media files (audio, text, image and video) in another media files. In this paper, mainly the quantum steganography works for two imagery files. The quantum secret image will be hiding in the Quantum Cover image. In this process of hiding of information or image, need to select the pixels. The Qbits used to store the secret image are two most and least significant Qbits. The secret image will be scrambled first, using Arnold’s cat map technique, and then will be embedded into Quantum Cover picture. The Stegno Image is sufficient to extract the secret information. The NEQR quantum representation model is used for converting image into quantum states. The simulation result and analysis demonstrates that the proposed scheme has good visibility and high embedding capacity.

Integrating Q-Bit Generation via Quantum Computing for Enhanced AES Encryption and LSB Technique for Secure Image Steganography

B S Spoorthi

In the realm of cybersecurity, the demand for robust encryption and secure data hiding techniques has intensified with the proliferation of digital communication and sensitive information exchange. This paper explores integration of QC advancements for enhancing the security of two critical cryptographic applications: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption and Least Significant Bit (LSB) image steganography. Quantum computing introduces the concept of qubits, which harness quantum mechanical phenomena to perform computations that classical computers struggle to achieve efficiently. By leveraging qubits, AES encryption can potentially benefit from enhanced key generation and encryption processes, thereby strengthening data confidentiality against conventional and future quantum attacks. Additionally, this paper investigates the application of quantum-inspired techniques to optimize the LSB method in image steganography. LSB embedding involves hiding data within LSB of image pixels, technique vulnerable to statistical attacks. Quantum-inspired approaches aim to mitigate these vulnerabilities by improving embedding efficiency and robustness without compromising image quality. Through theoretical analysis and simulation studies, this research evaluates the feasibility and potential benefits of integrating quantum computing into AES encryption and LSB steganography. The findings underscore the promise of quantum-enhanced methods in fortifying data security across digital platforms, laying the groundwork for future advancements in quantum cryptography and information hiding techniques.
