Security Enhancement in Image Steganography

Abstract

Steganography helps in communication of secured data in several carries like images videos and audio It undergoes many useful applications and well known for ill intentions It was mainly proposed for the security techniques in the increase of computational power in order to have security awareness like individuals groups agencies etc The factors that are separated from cryptography and water making are data is not detectable capacity of hidden data is unknown and robustness of medium The steganography provides different methods existing and guidelines The current technology of image steganography involves techniques of LSB in image domain but once the attacker acknowledges that medium is containing embedded data he will attack the medium and breaks into the secured content In this paper we are discussing how to protect the steganography image by embedding it into another medium using mat lab Here we work on image matrices to perform the steganography Lightness adjustment on the matrix is done to reduce the brighter pixels in image The lightness decreased image then embedded into another cover image by matrix difference technique will be discussed in detail
