Abstract

İnternetin yaygın kullanılması ile birlikte veri iletimi kolaylaşmıştır. Bütün iletişim biçimlerinde, özellikle gizli iletişimde, veri güvenliği en önemli unsurdur. Bu nedenle, verinin güvenliğini sağlamak için verinin şifrelenmesi en eski yöntemdir ve buna kriptografi adı verilmektedir. Kriptografi, bilgiyi güvence altına almak için kullanılan etkili bir yöntem olsa da bilginin varlığını belli eder. Steganografi ise, bilginin varlığını istenmeyen kişilerden gizler. Steganografi verinin varlığını kamufle etmek için kapak adı verilen taşıyıcı medya kullanır. Kapak medya; video, görüntü veya ses dosyası olabilir. Uzamsal alanda görüntü steganografisinde, veriler bir kapak görüntünün piksellerine doğrudan yerleştirilir. Literatürde, birçok araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilmiş çeşitli görüntü steganografi teknikleri yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada, uzamsal alanda görüntü steganografisinde, blok veri gizleme için güvenli kanal seçimi tekniği önerilmektedir. Veri gizlemede kullanılacak pikseli tespit etmek için iki yöntem kullanılmıştır. Birincisinde, kapak görüntü bloklara bölündükten sonra, blok içerisindeki her bir pikselin komşuları ile arasındaki ortalama farkı yani gradyan değeri kullanılmaktadır. İkincisinde, pikselin sayısal değeri doğrudan kullanılmaktadır. Tespit edilen piksellerin en az anlamlı bitleri (1-lsb, 2-lsb, 3-lsb), gizlenecek mesajın bitleri ile değiştirilmektedir. Her iki yöntemde de PSNR ve SSIM değerlerinin birbirlerine yakın olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Üretilen stego görüntülerin 1-lsb için ortalama PSNR değeri 63.2631 ve bpp değeri 0,007, 2-lsb için PSNR değeri 56.8598 ve bpp değeri 0.015, 3-lsb için PSNR değeri 50.5023 ve bpp değeri 0.03 bulunmuştur, bu değerlerin oldukça başarılı olduğu görülmüştür.

Abstract

With the widespread use of the Internet, data transmission has become easier. In all forms of communication, especially confidential communication, data security is the most important issue. Therefore, encryption of data is the oldest method toensure the security of data and it is called cryptography. Although cryptography is an effective method used to secure information, it reveals the presence of information. Steganography, on the other hand, hides the presence of information from unwanted people. Steganography uses carrier media, called covers, to camouflage the presence of data. Cover media; can be a video, an image or an audio file. In image steganographyfor the spatial-domain, data is placed directly into the pixels of a cover image. In the literature, there are various image steganography techniques developed by many researchers. In this study, a secure channel selection technique is proposed for block data hiding in spatial image steganography. Two methods were used to detect the pixel to be used in data hiding. In the first, after the cover image is divided into blocks, the average difference between each pixel and its neighborsin the block, that is the gradient value, is used. In the second, the numerical value of the pixel is used directly. The least significant bits (1-lsb, 2-lsb, 3-lsb) of the detected pixels are replaced with the bits of the message to be hidden. PSNR and SSIM values were found to be close to each other in both methods. The mean PSNR value for 1-lsb was 63.2631 and the bpp value was 0.007, the PSNR value for 2-lsb was 56.8598 and the bpp value was 0.015, the PSNR value for 3-lsb was 50.5023 and the bpp value was 0.03. These values were found to be quite successful.
