Abstract: In today's world, data is king. Information relies on raw facts, and sharing this data is crucial for collaboration between users, even those in different locations. However, during transfer, data confidentiality and privacy are paramount. We need a way to convert digital data into an unreadable format to protect it from tampering by intruders. Steganography offers a solution, in which the original data will be embedded into a Cover file. If any unauthorized person, try to access the message, the original data will not be visible instead cover file will be visible. This technique hides data within various mediums like images, audio, or video. This paper explores how image steganography can be used to encrypt data.
