Steganography has become one of the widely used tools in today's world for hiding information within another data or an image. It is a technique that takes cryptography to the next level by concealing the presence of a message itself. Data Encryption Standard algorithm is such a cryptographic key which is applied to a block of plain text to convert it into a cipher text and vice-versa. This paper presents an innovative idea to hide a message within an image of any dimension by encrypting the message through Data Encryption Standard algorithm and concealing the message by applying LSB encoding technique in a spiral manner thus enhancing the difficulty of the decoder. The main objective is that, securing of data becomes more potent and secretive than the previous ones.
