A Secure Scheme for Image Transformation

The dynamic growth in the field of Information communication has hiked the ease of Information transmission. But this type of real advancement in other sense has explored so many possibilities of information being snooped, at the time of communication in between the sender and the intended receiver. So, day by day Information Security is becoming an inseparable part of Computing and Communication. Various tools are available in order to address those issues and in them Steganography plays a significant role. In this paper, a heuristic approach for Information hiding in the form of multimedia objects or text using Steganography is proposed keeping in mind two considerations - Size and degree of security. Here, the Information is hidden behind an image in the form of an encoded matrix which is obtained from the bit matrix of the embedded object.
