| Abstract: | In the era of growing interconnectivity, ensuring the confidentiality and security of digital data is crucial. Cryptography and steganography are two primary methods for information security. Cryptography protects the contents of messages, while steganography hides the existence. Although both methods are used in different applications, the potential benefits of combining them is being explored. However, the feasibility of combining these techniques depends on various factors, such as bandwidth limits, latency constraints, and the specific security requirements in a given situation, like electronic voting. This review explores journal articles and conference papers implementing the combination of steganography and cryptography in real-world applications. Research so far is mostly limited to medical applications. Similarly, image steganography is widely used across various domains. This review is novel in several ways: 1) gaining insight into real-world applications being explored by existing literature. 2) split categorization of these applications into application domain (such as Medical or Transportation) and technological domain (such as Cloud Computing or Internet of Things). This review also investigates advantages and limitations of these implementations, and discusses three evaluation perspectives (security, performance, and user). Split categorization can guide research into new areas, while the three perspectives provide important aspects to consider when analyzing or evaluating real-world implementations. |
