Project Title

Steganography and invisible digital watermark

Due to rapid growth and evolution of technology over the world, there have been rising demands in information system security into several case areas. Nowadays, sharing data is much easier and faster over the internet and some of the users have been misusing of the technology. Image is one of media that easy to get copied without permissions from the owner of the image. Unauthorized users have been trying to get data and share data which is not belong to them. Besides that, most of people save their data/file into softcopy which more efficient instead of keep all document into paper form. The problem is considered to be in a computer security system. The computer security system usually related with authentication that help to confirm the identify person and ensuring that system is trusted. It is the application that help user to embed hidden watermark into image and can be used as tool to put the file into the carrier as known as image. Invisible digital watermark are relative new technology in system security which could prevent pirate of the copyright of content. Hence, the owner of the copyright of content will not be aggrieved because of the unauthorized users who collect the data without any permission from the owner. Afterwards, the images might content important information which wanted to be sent without unauthorized users know it. It has been increasing lately systems that precisely need more security to avoid stolen data from unauthorized users. Besides that, people need the media to alter the important data, which means to allow users to hide and encrypt the data into media. Some of the cases, a user has thousand high quality images which will be uploaded to the internet. Unfortunately, unauthorized users copying and sharing them to another people and call them as his/her. There may be some challenges in developing to this system as below: 1. The cropping image The developer must create the system which can survive the cropping of an image. As we know, cropping image is the remove some part of the image which can remove the data embedded into image or invisible digital watermark 2. Multiple embedded data Means, the developer has to know to prevent multiple invisible digital watermarks and whether the data embedded inside or not. 3. Compression of the image This challenging will be the most hardest, because developer need to protect the data inside the image when someone compress the resolution of the image.

4. Resampling the image It is still challenging to this area, because it is easy for copying and editing for images. 5. Time consuming This project needs time within six months to be done. It slightly rush of doing the system because it needs research to develop the system, such as learning programming language in advance, research the project, test plan 6. Human resources It could be hard for develop this project through many processes individually; this project has a lot of processes which could be done step by step. 7. Lack of skill It need more attention in the project, the developer needs to know what kind of methodology will be used, programming language, so the developer will know which is the most suitable for this project.

C. Brief description of project objectives. (i.e. scope of proposal and deliverables)

There are some objective of the system which will be elaborated each point. The objectives will be explained below. The curiosities of how much people are into the steganography and invisible digital watermarks. The objective of this project is to know how much people are into steganography in images and hidden watermarking. Lately, as we know thousand pictures has been transferring from one device to another device. Assume it, from email, uploading/downloading, MMS, and so on. But only few of us give attention about the source of the image, copyright of the image, insecure image from data embedded to image itself, the original of the image, or there is data embed inside the image. This project might help people to give some attention to this field. Prevention of the piracy. The objective of this project is to reduce piracy of the images. As we can see the growth and evolution of technology, and this is one of the factors of increasing the piracy happened. We can see digital watermarking easy to remove or edit. Because of this, the developer creates the invisible digital watermark to prevent the unauthorized users. In addition, this system can be functioned as detector whether the images are embedded invisible watermark or not. Steganography in image. It is to embedded data/ file into the carries as we known as images. This system is already thought long times ago by the people are much into the steganography. This method will be used if the data/ file which are wanted to embed into carrier are smaller than carrier (image). There is password which can be applied when the data is already embedded into carrier. In password part, developer use graphical password as the method.

Last but not least, the system is developed to help people in order to protect their copyright. And help people to find an alternative media to carry their data which is protected. Core 1. Invisible watermark application 2. Steganography in image Enhance 1. Detect the original of the images ( scan by the invisible watermark) Special 1. The graphical password for steganography in the system

D. Brief description of the resources needed by the proposal. (i.e. hardware, software, access to information / expertise, user involvement etc.) The developer will use the primary research, secondary research, people who get involved, and some of the device and software to build the system. In primary research, developer will use questionnaire and interview as the primary research. The developer must come up with the question which must be answered by developer itself, it will come up based on the problem that developer has. And it will be divided into certain topics to limit the scopes and solve problems which are based on those scopes. The questionnaire is intended for the people who are into in this field, knowing about technology, and dummies who does not know about this area. The reason why developer does chooses the questionnaire as the primary research. Developer want to know how much people are into about the images field, means security field and want to know about the piracy recently. And another reason is the developer has no basic knowledge into this project, hence while giving the questionnaire and gain the knowledge which developer can get from the questionnaire Interviewing, the developer will ask to the expert in this field, which will get some knowledge from them, and trying to get some advices from them to enhance the system to be fully function system. In secondary research, the developer needs some books, articles, e-book, application which has same purpose with the project, it is for helping the project to get some ideas then apply to the system. - Hardware to be used for the development of the system: AMD Truion9tm) X2 Dual-Core @2. 20GHz 3 GB of RAM 350 GB of Harddisk Space - Software to be used for the development of the system : Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 32- Bit Visual express 2010 NetBeans IDE PHP

F. Brief description of the development plan for the proposed project. (i.e. which software methodology and why, the major areas of functions to be developed and the order in which developed) The methodology will be implemented is an iterative and incremental methodology. It consist several phases in this methodology which are initial planning, planning, requirement, analysis& design, implementation, testing, evaluation, deployment. This methodology is used to develop the system by repeated some phases and add some small portion at the same time. An iterative and incremental methodology consists of the stages which will be explained below. 1. Initial planning( 29 July 2011 31 July 2011) In this phase, basically just to find the idea and the title. It is just draft of the project which wants to develop. 2. Planning(31 July 2011 5 August 2011) In this phase, developer should be done with the title name. And the planning is what the system going to do in the future, the scope and limitation. 3. Requirement ( 5 August 2011 15 August 2011) What the project need it during the process.

4. Analysis& design. 15 August 2011 12 September 2011) In here, the developer can figure out and analyze the requirement and it determines the objective of the project. And the developer has to figure out the interface and design of the project. 5. Implementation ( 12 September 2011 25 September 2011) In this stage, analysis& design phase should be implemented into the fully function system. 6. Testing ( 25 September 2011 27 September 2011) In this stage, testers will execute the program and they will tell the system look like, find the bug, and give the opinion in order to meet the requirement. 7. Evaluation. (27 September 2011 29 September 2011) In this stage, the developer should be evaluated the system from the testers opinion. The developer should be figured out on the system. 8. Deployment. This is the last phase, the system is ready to deploy to the public and there are no errors. There are some phases has to repeated over and over. It consists are planning, requirement, analysis& design, implementation, testing, and evaluation. Because the developer needs to find some ideas to enhance this system and also the developer has no basic knowledge to this project. This method will help the developer to gain knowledge without confusing the role of each phase.

G. Brief description of the evaluation and test plan for the proposed project. (i.e. what is the success criteria and how will be evaluated & implementation will be tested, indicate the estimated size of the demonstration/test database) The developer will ask some of participants to test this system, ask some questions to get information which can enhance the system and ask to them to give some comments. The developer has to come up with a survey table. There are 3 group will be divided for participants: dummies which do not have any knowledge about the computer system but they have been in computer as user only, moderate which know about the technology but not really into it, for example IT student who just enter the IT world, and the last is expert IT which is they know about IT field and this system, or work as IT expertise The success criteria for developer are the system would be accepted in IT world. And people will use the system for the copyright image or to hide the data. Another reason is perspective against this field would be changed to be good way. This system would be the one of the system to prevent the copyright of the images.

Unit testing Unit test will be done by the developer on every unit component of the system. the developer has to makes sure that each of unit must functioning well. Integration testing It is the combination of two or more unit in the system and tests them where they must be working without any errors and bugs Performance testing It is to check whether the system perform well in every operating system and also to check the timing for responding the users to the system Usability testing In this stage, checking of the interface should be covered, whether the users easy to interact with the system or not. User acceptance testing It is the final stage of testing which allow user to test the system itself. And in this stage, it is easy for developer to cover the errors in the system from the testers.
