Secret UAV Flight Paths Hiding in Digital Media with ElGamal Public Key
Steganography
Abstract
UAV will need a travel route with specific location coordinates to
complete the flight mission. However, many missions must be completed in
secret, such as state duties, to ensure the safety of UAV flying from
attacks by irresponsible parties. For this reason, a cryptographic
mechanism for travel route data and steganography on a digital media is
needed so that the security of data transmission is more guaranteed. The
method used is ElGamal public key cryptography due to the good
decryption speed and more difficult mathematical calculations thus
improving data security. The Steganography method used is Least
Significant Bit (LSB) so that the quality of digital media after data
insertion is not much different from the original. It was found that the
entire experiment reached a value above 30 which showed excellent public
key Steganography quality.
