ABSTRACT
The process of concealing a file inside another so that others are unable to de- code its contents or even detect its presence is known as steganography. The protection of the contents of the hidden information is the most important objective of steganography. Because an abundance of redundant space is created when storing images, pictures are perfect for hiding in- formation. Since there are various ways of achieving this, picture steganography is examined. The LSB approach, which alters the least significant bit of each byte to produce the bitstring that represents the embedded file, is one of these ways that has been utilized for image steganography here. Only slight color changes are possible from changing the LSB. In this paper, A new ap- proach to encrypting data and embedding it into images using XOR instead of a key selected by the user is introduced in this study.
