The outcome of this paper is to generate a platform that can effectively hide a message that contains both data files and
image files inside a digital image file. In this paper the method to secure both data and image inside a digital image
through steganography i.e. LSB technique is used to secure the information over the single mode optical fiber is
implemented.
The entire operation can be achieved in following steps:
Data is secured through steganography with the help of matlab software.
Sending the data.
Receiving the data.
Software processing to detect the frames/ packets and extracting desired data from it.
The experiment involves transmitting a data i.e. both text and image over optical Ethernet from one computer to the
other. Firstly data is secured through steganography at sender‟s side computer with the MATLAB software. Then data
goes through unidirectional Ethernet media converter so that two dissimilar media types such as twisted pair with fiber
optic cabling can connect together. Then at receiver data is received and desired data is extracted through software
processing (MATLAB). Above mentioned hardware and software are connected as shown in figure. The experiment
reported here was performed on an Ethernet network as the components especially the software were easily available.
