The privacy of transmitting data in the era of super-fast internet and high-volume data generation has become a tough job. To solve this problem, the combination of steganography and visual cryptography together is considered. Steganography is the process of concealing some data inside any form of digital data. The proposed method takes the original image and the secret message is encoded in its LSB (least significant bits), where genetic algorithm modifies the pixel values of encrypted image, therefore making the secret of the message tough to crack and then secretly hides the data in the original image and it is detected after undergoing visual cryptography which helps to encrypt visual information so that on decryption, data or the information appears as an image. The aim of this model is to design an efficient and secured algorithm for better reliability, security and efficiency for a secret message.
