A Novel Approach An Advanced Security Mechanism for Sending Messages using Steganography

Steganography is the art of concealing information in ways that prevents the detection of hidden messages. Providing security for sending messages and confidential information via internet has been a challenging task for ages. Steganography provides a method to hide the data inside an image called cover object, while communication takes place between the sender and the receiver. Several techniques have been developed by the researchers to provide secured transmission of data. Hiding text messages inside an image using various methods in steganography is one of them. In this paper, we have proposed a new technique of file steganography and audio steganography. Here, the image and audio files are used as the carrier medium which adds another step in security. Only encrypted data is embedded in the image or audio file. Therefore, the intruders cannot access the original data from cover object as it will be available only in its encrypted form. R.
