Murthy Institute of technology AnkiReddy pally, Kesara, Hyderabad Email : nrsimha_9@yahoo.com ABSTRACT This paper facilitates the techniques to be used with the images that cannot be misused by unauthorized users. This method is to provide the security for images by using key concepts. The Invisible Watermarking concept is used for secret message and images to send one node to another node with a private key. A package is developed to attain the above said technology. This package is mainly applicable for a software company which focuses on how to secure the data from the hackers while transferring the information. It gives controlled redundancy, data independence, more accuracy and integrity, privacy and security and also a good performance. Keywords- Invisible Watermarking, Stegnography, Encryption 1. INTRODUCTION DIGITAL watermarking is a process of embedding marks which are typically invisible and that can be extracted only by owners authentication. This technology is to be used with the image that cannot

International Journal of Computer Engineering and Technology (IJCET), ISSN 0976 6367(Print), ISSN 0976 6375(Online) Volume 3, Issue 3, October-December (2012), IAEME be misused by the unauthorized users. This allows one to do without any distortion and keeping much better stegno-image quality, also in a reliable and secured manner guaranteeing efficient retrievals of secret file. Digital watermarking finds wide application in security, authentication, copyright protection and all walks of internet applications. There has been effective growth in developing techniques to discourage the unauthorized duplication of data and applications. The watermarking technique is one, which is feasible to design to protect the data and also applications related The term cover is used to describe the original message in which it will hide our secret message, data file or image file. Invisible watermarking and visible watermarking are the two important types of the above said technology. The main objective of this package is to reduce the unauthorized duplication of data and application, provide security, authentication, and copyright protections to all walks of internet applications. During the implementation stage, the system is physically created, necessary programs are coded, debugged and documented and operating procedures are developed. The test plan is also established. Based on the specification above, the necessary code is developed in .NET and tested successfully with the test data. Software is tested with real data and the report generated are accurate and error free. The system is portable and flexible for further development. It gives user friendly screens to enter data and enquire database. It is also tested on various browsers in order to check the consistency and reliability. This application has a great impact on the people who want to gather latest information and very useful as well as user friendly. 2. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION Here the problem is to transfer a message in a safe and secure way. Previously we had used the method of cryptography to transfer a message in a safe way with the help of encryptions and decryptions algorithm. Growth of internet transferring a message or file using this concept made a problem since the hackers easily hack the data. To overcome this problem a new technique called watermarking is used. In this technique the information is using with a media file (image, audio, and video).Visible Watermarking means information hidden with image but that has visible on the image. It also made problem to transfer data. So the invisible watermarking scheme is selected for transferring the information. In this method, the information is hidden with media file, while transferring data it fully converted as media file. When the receiver wants to retrieve it, he will open with the help of the private key of receiver. As we are transferring message embedded with image, audio, video file, while transferring data from sender to receiver it is necessary to encrypt it by private key. After decryption, the information fully converted as the media file. The receiver decrypts the message whenever he wants to access by the same key. Likewise, we are transferring the message with media file. 3. PROPOSED SYSTEM The most widely used existing method is encryption, which takes data and mixes it up with an algorithm and a key to output unreadable data. The receiver then must also have a key to decrypt the data in order to read it. Another form of data hiding is encryptions using steganography. Steganography is the act of hiding data inside other data. For example, hiding the words into an image. But we can conceal limited words into image here. The digital images can be protected from illegal copying and manipulation through the digital watermarking technique. Commonly, watermarking is built to endure un-malicious or malicious attacks like scaling, cropping, compression and so forth. It is chiefly intended towards copyright Protection. The proposed watermarking scheme is blind, since it doesnt require the original image or any of its characteristics for the extraction of watermark. This scheme makes use of a binary image as watermark data for protecting the copyrights of images. The term cover is used to describe the original message in which it will hide our secret message, data file and image. Once it embeds our secret file into the cover, the new image is known as the stegno image. 3.1 Software Requirement Specification The software requirements specification (SRS) is produced at the culmination of analysis task establishing a complete functional descriptor. Design constraints and the other data pertinent to

International Journal of Computer Engineering and Technology (IJCET), ISSN 0976 6367(Print), ISSN 0976 6375(Online) Volume 3, Issue 3, October-December (2012), IAEME requirements and refines the function and performance allocated to software as part of the system engineering. This is the base of all software engineering activities that flow. 3.2 Formal Description This technology mainly contains four modules, namely authentication, embedding, retrieval module and data transmission. In that embedding technique covers message embedding, word document embedding and image embedding. Retrieval module consists of message retrieval, word document retrieval and also image retrieval. Application architecture is as shown in fig. 2. The main objectives concentrated in data design are, controlled redundancy, data independence, accuracy and integrity, privacy and security also performance. 4. FUNCTIONAL DESIGN Functional design is otherwise known as hierarchy (or) structural chart. It is a graphical tool for representing hierarchy. The following principles are used for architectural design. 4.1 Modularity and Partitioning Each system should consist of a hierarchy of modules. Lower level modules are generally small in scope and size compared to higher level modules and serve to partition processes into separate functions. 4.2 Coupling Modules should have little dependence on other modules in a system. Coupling between the modules is the strength of interconnection between modules (or) a measure of interdependence among modules. There are two types of coupling. First one is highly coupled (modules are joined by strong inter connections), and the second one is loosely coupled (modules have weak inter connections). 4.3 Interface Design The user interface design activity focuses on supporting the interaction between the user and the developed site. User Interface design is frequently a prototyping process where the working models or prototypes of user interface methods are design and modified several times with the feedback from the customer. Data design activity focus on the design of the structure of the database and files to be used by the proposed websites. In this paper the data design of the website have a detailed description of data flow. 5. PROCESS DESIGN This activity focuses on the design of the user interaction forms i.e. the program and procedures needed to develop the forms. (See fig. 1 , 2) 5.1 System Specification It formalizes the design of the applications user interface methods, Database structures and processing, and controlled procedures. Therefore system designers will frequently develop hardware, software, data and personal specifications for proposed system. 5.2. Low Level Design The procedural design or component level design is also treated as low level design which will deal with the lowest level of the functional details such as implementation details etc., Addition and modification of user information procedure is given below. 5.3 Adding User information Function Name : Adding User information Input : Reading User details

IMPLEMENTATION Operating procedures must be developed. The test plan must be established. The implementation stage normally ends Execution is the stage of the system when the theoretical design is turned into a working system. During the implementation stage, the system is physically created, necessary programs are coded, debugged and documented and with formal system test involving all components and procedures if the implementation stage is not carefully planned and controlled. It can cause chaos. Thus it can be considered to be the most crucial stage in achieving a new successful system. Based on the specification above, the necessary code is developed in .NET and tested successfully with the test data (See Fig. 3).

Further requirements and improvements can easily be done since the coding is mainly structured or modular in nature. Changing the existing modules or adding new modules can append improvements. Further enhancements can be made to the application, so that the windows functions very attractive and useful manner than the present one. 8. CONCLUSION We hope that the developed software would be of great help in the process of transferring data in a secured way. This is used to automate secure file management system and to overcome client difficulties by providing all the latest information to achieve the desire goals of them. This software includes all the facilities like navigation from one page to another page using links. Software is tested with real data and the report generated are accurate and error free. The system is portable and flexible for further development. It gives user friendly screens to enter data and enquire database. It is also tested on various browsers in order to check the consistency and reliability. This application has a great impact on the people who want to gather latest information and very useful as well as user friendly.
