Abstract

The main goal of steganography is to hide the existence of any secret data from the eye of third
party, so the resultant stego-image must appear normal and not suspicious after the impeding process.
Stego-image must have an acceptable quality in comparison with its size. Moreover, its size has to be on
the rate of the usual Internet images, because it is required to be sent by this medium. This work focuses on
these problems, using a novel Selected Least Significant Bit method. Standard color images were used to
hide the data. The proposed approach has been evaluated and the results had been analyzed. The obtained
results showed clear enhancements on the impeding space considering previous related works.
