Abstract
Image steganography is a method of concealing confidential information within digital photos such that its presence is not obvious. In this project, the Least Significant Bit (LSB) algorithm in the Java programming language is used to implement image steganography. To incorporate secret data, like text, the LSB technique changes the least significant portions of an image's pixel values without appreciably changing the original image.Message fragments are seamlessly inserted by adjusting each pixel's red, green, and blue (RGB) color components. The secret message is accurately retrieved during decoding by using a preset delimiter to indicate its end. Because of the method's high imperceptibility and little distortion, the stego image looks exactly like the original.Java's BufferedImage and ImageIO classes are used to process images in the system's implementation. This project illustrates a straightforward but efficient method of image-based data concealment for secure communication that can be used for low-level security, research, and instructional purposes.
