Encrypted Data Hiding & Retrieval of an Image using LSB Based on RBF Network

In this paper an image is hidden in another image using one of the hiding algorithms (Least Significant Bit) to produce the stego-cover image which used as an input with the cover to Radial basis function Network to produce the weights. Cover is delivered once to the recipient who can use it for unlimited number of messages. The weights are delivered to the recipient for each hidden message as a key. The recipient uses the cover with the weights to unhide the message. So that this method include two levels of security. The first one is hiding the message in the cover to produce stego-cover image. The second one is ciphering the embedded image using RBF Neural Network. This Network is considered as a target and the input to the Neural Network is the cover image. Then the weights, which represent the encrypted information are reconstructed. The recipient can use RBF Network to unhide the message by having the stego-cover image then the message. Matlab R2008a was used in this paper.
