Abstract

This research aims to secure text data by combining steganography and cryptography. The Pixel Value Differencing (PVD) method allows for higher data insertion capacity with minimal distortion, thereby increasing resistance to steganalysis. However, the PVD steganography method is vulnerable to variation in image areas and to the accuracy of Pixel Difference Histogram (PDH) analysis. In addition, this method is susceptible to statistical tools such as the chi-square and RS, which can be used to analyze the distribution of pixel value differences, allowing data to be detected. To address the limitations of the PVD method, we employed a cryptographic technique called XOR-VLSB, which combines XOR as the primary encryption method, Vigenère Cipher for key generation, and Least Significant Bit (LSB) for key embedding. The results showed that the fully encrypted data could be recovered and had good image quality, as indicated by the metric results, which included a low MSE value, a PSNR above 35 dB, and an SSIM value close to 1. In this study, the process of encrypting text data still uses a simple encryption algorithm, namely XOR. Future research may involve replacing cryptographic algorithms with AES, which offers stronger protection and better resistance to advanced security threats.
