In day to day life, people from different sectors need to transfer the digital data for different purposes. But there exist many threats to this type of data transfer. Some important data can be lost during transfer or any intruder can hack the data to gain particular assesses. To handle these issues, one solution can be the use of a technique which will securely store the data and be sent in a form that no one could get to know that some important data is being transferred. In this paper, we propose a hidden data transfer system using the Cryptography, Steganography and Watermarking techniques. This system is based on the approach of stream cipher cryptography using RC4 algorithm, steganography by F5 algorithm and watermarking using Quantization Index Modulation algorithm. Our emphasis is to give access to the original data to the authorized party by maintaining the integrity of the encrypted information and the copyright image along with the container image.
