Data security plays a vital role in the field of Information Technology. Cryptography and Steganography methods are widely used to enforce security efficiently. In Spatial Domain, many steganography methods are available such as LSB, PVD etc. These existing methods always suffer from the quality, security trade off. In this paper, we proposed an enhanced LSB method to deal with such tradeoffs. The proposed method achieves the goal by employing variable embedding patterns and the results with optimized PSNR, MSE and entropy values evidently show that the quality and security are well balanced by the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
