Comparison of different image formats using LSB Steganography

Abstract

Nowadays secure and safe transmission of data is a very important aspect for all internet users. In the data securing process the use of encryption algorithms almost make it very difficult for an eavesdropper to get access to the user's data. It helps to ensure the privacy of a company/user from others. Keeping in view the importance of steganography for secure data transmission this work incorporates the use of LSB substitution method. Simulation results show the feasibility of the proposed method. The data has been successfully embedded into different formats of images without any perceptible distortion in the image.
