Abstract:
Information hiding technique is becoming a
research hotspot in information security, and will be
widely used to national security, e-commerce, egovernment,
copyright protection and covert
communication. This paper proposes secure, efficient
capacity and undetectable hiding algorithm to be used
for XML document and the secret message is hidden
in cover XML according to the pseudorandom number
generator which makes this system more secured. The
proposed steganography algorithm, which is different
from all steganographic algorithms in XML and text
file that uses XOR logical operation and mathematical
operation to hide secret data. All other algorithms
which hide information by inserting white space in
XML tag, rearranging the order of XML elements etc.
This paper also developed a secure system in which
cryptography and steganography are used as
integrated part along with newly developed enhanced
security model for web services. In Steganography the
secret message is hidden in (Simple Object Access
Protocol) SOAP message according to the proposed
hiding algorithm. In Cryptography public key (RSA)
algorithm is used to encrypt the key for extracting
process. This technique is empirically validated to
indicate its utility and value.
