Integrating AES-GCM, ECC, and Steganography for Enhanced Confidential Communication

In the modern world of information and technology, the prime requirement is highly secure data communication against the cyber threat. Efficient data communication should support all principles of information security: confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, authorization, and key management. This paper attempts at integrating three robust cryptographic techniques, viz., AES-GCM, ECC, and steganography for developing a secure mechanism for data transfer. Other research objectives also examine the establishment of combined effectiveness techniques in safeguarding CIAAA and the management of keys to key management processes. Among the anticipated outcomes is an additional improvement in data security that would provide blanket, advanced coverage for modern information security practice.
