Abstract
In digital communication secure communication sessions must be provided. The data transmitted across the global network should be more secure so that any Intruder can’t interpret the data. To improve the security features in case of data transmission and data hiding Cryptography and Steganography are the two popular methods. In this paper, we are presenting the combination of Cryptography and Steganography techniques in one system. Our approach is to develop a new technique to encrypt secret information to cipher text and hide it into an image, with the benefits of combining cryptography and steganography. Firstly, the message is encrypted by using a Secret key and XOR its with the main text using binary representation. After that, we performed Steganography. Some modifications are done on LSB algorithm by adding a sequence algorithm for pixel selection. Results we get indicate that our proposed work is encouraging in terms of robustness and security.
