| TITLE | Enhanced Secure Image Steganography Using Adaptive LSB and XOR Encryption in Embedded C |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | Image steganography is a data hiding technique that enables secure communication by concealing confidential information within digital images. This paper presents an image steganography system based on the Least Significant Bit (LSB) substitution method implemented using the C programming language. The proposed approach embeds secret text data into the least significant bits of image pixels, ensuring minimal visual distortion while maintaining the quality of the cover image. The embedding process converts the secret message into binary format and systematically inserts the data into selected pixel locations, whereas the extraction process retrieves the hidden information by reading the modified bits from the stego image. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed method successfully hides and recovers secret data with high accuracy and negligible impact on image quality. The technique offers low computational complexity, efficient memory utilization, and ease of implementation, making it suitable for lightweight and real-time secure communication applications. The proposed system can be applied in confidential data transmission, digital authentication, copyright protection, and information security systems. |
