Securing Cloud from Cloud Drain

Niva Das, Tanmoy Sarkar

Today, in the world of communication, connected systems is growing at a rapid pace. To accommodate this growth the need for computational power and storage is also increasing at a similar rate. Companies are investing a large amount of resources in buying, maintaining and ensuring availability of the system to their customers. To mitigate these issues, cloud computing is playing a major role.The underlying concept of cloud computing dates back to the 50's but the term entering into widespread usage can be traced to 2006 when Amazon.com announced the Elastic Compute Cloud.In this paper, we will discuss about cloud security approaches. We have used the term Cloud-Drain to define data leakage in case of security compromise.

Digital Watermarking Techniques in Spatial and Frequency Domain

Tanmoy Sarkar, Sugata Sanyal

Digital watermarking is the act of hiding information in multimedia data, for the purposes of content protection or authentication. In ordinary digital watermarking, the secret information is embedded into the multimedia data (cover data) with minimum distortion of the cover data. Due to these watermarking techniques the watermark image is almost negligible visible. In this paper we will discuss about various techniques of Digital Watermarking techniques in spatial and frequency domains

Steganalysis: Detecting LSB Steganographic Techniques

Tanmoy Sarkar, Sugata Sanyal

Steganalysis means analysis of stego images. Like cryptanalysis, steganalysis is used to detect messages often encrypted using secret key from stego images produced by steganography techniques. Recently lots of new and improved steganography techniques are developed and proposed by researchers which require robust steganalysis techniques to detect the stego images having minimum false alarm rate. This paper discusses about the different Steganalysis techniques and help to understand how, where and when this techniques can be used based on different situations.

Reversible and Irreversible Data Hiding Technique

Tanmoy Sarkar, Sugata Sanyal

Steganography (literally meaning covered writing) is the art and science of embedding secret message into seemingly harmless message. Stenography is practice from olden days where in ancient Greece people used wooden blocks to inscribe secret data and cover the date with wax and write normal message on it. Today stenography is used in various field like multimedia, networks, medical, military etc. With increasing technology trends steganography is becoming more and more advanced where people not only interested on hiding messages in multimedia data (cover data) but also at the receiving end they are willing to obtain original cover data without any distortion after extracting secret message. This paper will discuss few irreversible data hiding techniques and also, some recently proposed reversible data hiding approach using images.
