Optimizing the Security and Privacy of Cloud Data Communication; Hybridizing Cryptography and Steganography Using Triple Key of AES, RSA and LSB with Deceptive QR Code Technique: A Novel Approach

The propensity of transmitting improperly protected data in the clouds securely to its intended destination, free of being intercepted and deciphered is highly low in this fast advancing technological era. Specialist in the field of data and information security have over the past multiple decades tried and experimented quite a number of hashing combinations, but not sufficiently enough to forestall the interception and deciphering of secret text in transit. This security concern of private and confidential information of either individuals, groups or institutions ending up plainly in the wrong third party hands, therefore, spark the need to absolutely encrypt and steganography data in such a securely deceptive manner above the knowledge of the ‘Man-In-The-Middle’. The two current novel techniques that cybersecurity experts are exploring are the permutation of cryptography and steganography. We the authors in this paper will hence, explore a newer and higher dynamics of the combined data security technique. Methodologically, cryptography and steganography method will be diversified into using three (3) encryption keys under deceptive generated QR Code.
