Steganography Based On Random Pixel Selection for Efficient Data Hiding

Abstract

Advancement in technology has brought about the need for improvement in how data is stored and shared to prevent unauthorized access by third parties. Various methods including cryptography, watermarking, steganography and many others have been used in the quest to promote data safety. Currently, steganography has shown promise the most is being deployed by many. It simply involves hiding data in a media file but great success in data hiding has been chalked by this means. This paper explores the idea of steganography and its various types as well as how random pixel selection can be used to ensure efficient data hiding.
