Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Information Security
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Steganography is crucial for secure communication by hiding data within digital media.
  • Traditional steganographic methods face challenges in balancing data capacity and image distortion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the application and effectiveness of ant algorithms in steganography.
  • To optimize steganographic methods for high data capacity and low image distortion.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized ant colony optimization (ACO) for both spatial and frequency-based image steganography.
  • Applied integer wavelet transform and ACO to identify optimal data embedding locations.
  • Employed least-significant-bits (LSB) substitution in complex image regions identified by ACO.

Main Results:

  • Ant algorithms effectively identified optimal locations for data embedding in cover images.
  • The proposed method achieved high data embedding capacity with minimal distortion to image quality.
  • Experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of ACO in enhancing steganographic robustness.

Conclusions:

  • Ant algorithms offer a promising approach for advanced steganography.
  • The developed method balances high capacity and low distortion, outperforming existing techniques.
  • This research contributes to more secure and efficient data hiding techniques.
