Abstract
Steganography is the process of concealing such that it does not attract third-party attention. Hence just by looking nobody can guess that hiding has been done, whereas cryptography is also an art of hiding, but the only disadvantage being that anyone can guess about the encryption. Hence it attracts the attention of intruders who can try hard to decrypt it. Hence in our proposed methodology we have tried to combine the two and tried to make the hiding process stronger for secret message communication. The encryption method used is a novel one and we have introduced a unique pyramid named the ScDs pyramid. For ease of work we have taken the help of a priority algorithm which is fed to a neural network. The method is found to perform better than the related existing methods. The proposed algorithm can be used for security purposes related to the Internet or network, watermarking, and so on.
