Compression Multi-Level Crypto Stego Security of Texts Utilizing Colored Email Forwarding

Encrypted messages will draw the attention of third parties, leading attempts to break the original messages and disclose it. Obscuring facts and communications can be achieved by concealing the message using a technique called steganography, which hides the presence of messages and secrets from the public. Several digital mediums, such as texts, images, audio and video, can be used as cover media for digital steganography, with text steganography being our focus in this research. Utilizing text as a target medium is complex due to the lack of available redundant data-bits within text file. Steganography can be used together with cryptography to offer higher level of privacy and security over the communication channel. This paper presents a multi-level security method that takes the sensitive text and compresses it through the LZW compression algorithm and then encrypts it using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm in order to be stego-hidden in forward email colored platform. Implementation results show that this proposed multi-level scheme is giving motivating security, highcapacity, and practical performance text crypto stego interesting technique showing attractive contribution.
