Abstract

Steganography is the art and science of hiding secret information in a cover media in such a way that it is not detectable to anyone, except the intended recipient knows the existence of the data. Digital images are most commonly used coverage medium in steganography because of their easy availability and popularity on internet. This work provides a comparison review to the various steganography techniques. Steganography uses two kinds of domain for hiding the data: spatial domain (time domain) and transform domain (frequency domain).Some techniques from these two domains are discussed.The performance and comparison of these techniques is measured on the basis of the three parameters WPSNR, MSE, and NCCC.
