Abstract
Steganography is the technique in which the information is hidden within the objects so that the viewer cannot track it down and only the reserved recipient will be able to see it. The data can be concealed in different mediums such as text, audio and video files. Hiding the information in image or picture files is called image steganography. This steganography method helps in protecting the data from malicious attacks. The image chosen for steganography is known as cover image and the acquired image as stego image. A digital image can be described using pixel values, and those values will be modified using least significant bit (LSB) technique. To increase the security, various LSB techniques had been proposed. We made a comparison on various image steganography techniques based on the parameters like robustness, imperceptibility, capacity and security. In this paper, based on the comparisons we have suggested few image steganography algorithms.
