Due to advancements in communicating methods and proliferation of internet facilities, it is a necessity to raise a method for transferring secret message securely over a connecting.Steganography involves concealing messages in images which are referred as cover images.These cover images are then transferred across the connecting securely.The embedded messages are overlooked and cannot be recovering without knowing the exact steganographic cover methodology.Cryptography functions modifying the message arrangement by dispense different methodologies and finally rendering a deformed message which is not intelligible.Both the methodologies have their own pros and cons.By combining both the methodologies, a secure and more sophisticated method can be built.Multimedia content and methods are rapidly increasing in the industrial integrated area.Materials secrecy of such content is of a high significance.Cryptography comes with different solutions; however, it has been proven that it can be broken by the steady progress of the art [1][20].Therefore, considering robust and branch choices are unavoidable.One possible feasible choice is digital steganography.Steganography is an art of embedding secret message in an innocent looking container called cover message.This cover message may be any digital media such as digital image, audio, movie folder etc. Usually the embedded secret message is called payload.Once the payload has been embedded into a cover media it may be transmitted to the receiver or posted in public place from where intended receiver can download it.Multimedia message passing in cell and iPhone are getting more popular day by day and transmitting secret message with stego-image would be an interesting addition.Steganography methodologies have been elaborated using the different digital image folder arrangement.In the special activity, the most popular process is the Least Significant Bit (LSB).There exist several variations of this
