Stegnography is the technique of hiding confidential information within any media. In recent years various stegnography methods have been proposed to make data more secure. At the same time different steganalysis methods have also evolved. The number of attacks used by the steganalyst has only multiplied over the years. Various tools for detecting hidden informations are easily available over the internet, so securing data from steganalyst is still considered a major challenge. While various work have been done to improve the existing algorithms and also new algorithms have been proposed to make data behind the image more secure. We have still been using the same public key cryptography like Deffie-Hellman and RSA for key negotiation which is vulnerable to both technological progress of computing power and evolution in mathematics, so in this paper we have proposed use of quantum cryptography along with stegnography. The use of this combination will create key distribution schemes that are uninterceptable thus providing our data a perfect security.

Quantum Cryptography

Securing the key distribution is as important as securing the data itself. In this paper we have made use of quantum cryptography thus improving the security of the keys and providing our data a perfect security. The use of quantum cryptography has added another layer of defense to our data. Even if we use most secure encryption algorithm and best stego technique to hide our data, if the keys gets compromised these security will be of no use. Quantum cryptography addresses current as well as emerging threats and it definitely has “competitive advantage” over other public key cryptosystems. We have used quantum cryptography only for key distribution rather than for entire messages because of limitations of transmission speeds and hardware expenses.
