Hiding Data using LSB in Combination with AES

Abstract

In our increasingly digital age, steganography has emerged as one of the most trustworthy methods for the transmission of confidential information. This new research improves upon earlier LSB approaches by demonstrating how they may be utilized to efficiently encode secret data into a covert object without causing any obvious distortion. This opens the door for future applications of these methods. A safe data-hiding model will be produced by combining LSB-based steganography with AES; an LSB-based AES-256 encryption has been created and implemented in MATLAB.First, encrypted picture data is produced by encrypting the original image using a 256-bit AES technique. This process takes place before the image is used. The subsequent step includes sending a LSB-based steganography picture to the objective, which additionally contains the scrambled information. Interpreting the steganography picture information and reestablishing the first picture have both been achieved through the work of a similar strategy at the less than desirable finish of the transmission. We have examined and assessed an expansive range of sources of info and results from a few emphasess of the procedure applied to an assortment of picture information types. It is feasible to involve it in numerous useful cryptography applications to go through with steganography picture exchanges in a safer way.
