Abstract

In today's digital age, ensuring the security and confidentiality of image data is paramount, particularly with the proliferation of online communication and storage platforms. This project proposes a hybrid approach for enhancing image security by synergistically integrating encryption and steganography techniques. The combination of these two methods aims to fortify the protection of digital images against unauthorized access and tampering. Encryption ensures the confidentiality of image content by converting it into an unintelligible form using robust cryptographic algorithms. Concurrently, steganography conceals the encrypted data within the image itself, embedding it imperceptibly into the pixels or metadata. The synergy of encryption and steganography not only safeguards the integrity of image data but also adds an additional layer of concealment, making it arduous for adversaries to detect and decipher sensitive information. Through this project, the efficacy of the hybrid approach will be evaluated through experimentation and analysis, with the ultimate goal of providing a comprehensive solution for image security in various applications and contexts.
