Abstract
Due to the increase in the speed of the computer networks, the advantage in information communication has also increased and thus, the importance of information security cannot be overstated. The method of steganography has the purpose of making the communication hidden by wrapping the data into some other form. Many steganography formats of files are available, but still images in digital form are considered most famous due to their internet frequency. There are plenty of algorithms for data hiding but might have a compromise in quality of image. In this paper, a new technique is proposed for performing image steganography by utilizing edge detection techniques for grayscale images. In this proposed method, edges are detected by converting the image into grayscale and then, text is embedded into the digital image. Different methods like Canny, Sobel, Prewitt and Laplacian are applied here for having better secrecy and also for enhancing the stego image as well for getting correct data that was embedding.
