Abstract

The rapid growth of global internet usage has intensified the demand for secure data transmission, as data breaches pose significant threats to individuals and organizations. Cryptography and steganography are two key techniques in data security: cryptography encrypts sensitive messages, while steganography conceals them within digital media. This study integrates both methods, employing Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for encryption and the Least Significant Bit (LSB) technique for data embedding. The combined approach ensures data integrity, security, and flexibility, while maintaining minimal and visually imperceptible alterations to the carrier (stego) image. The system also introduces an initial login authentication layer to strengthen access control. This multi-layer security method significantly reduces the likelihood of interception and detection by unauthorized parties.
