A Wavelet Transform Based Image Authentication Approach Using Genetic Algorithm (AWTIAGA)

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 248))

Abstract

Steganography is the technique of hiding confidential information within a media. In this paper a Genetic Algorithm based image authentication technique in transformed domain using haar wavelet transform is proposed. Wavelet transform is applied on sub mask of the source image to obtain transformed coefficients. Bits of the hidden image are embedded on each coefficients of sub mask with BPP of two. The hidden bit positions are chosen in such a way that there is no loss of precession during reverse wavelet transform. Resultant stego image is obtained through inverse transform which is input for the Genetic Algorithm. Genetic algorithm is applied on it to enhance a layer of security. New Generation followed by Crossover is applied on initial population. Reverse process is followed during decoding. The proposed algorithm obtains better image fidelity and high PSNR as compared to existing approach Huang et al [1].
