Steganography is art of concealing information within information. It is extra-secure encryption method, which can be utilized in conjunction with cryptography to protect information. Steganography and encryption are two methods that can improve information security. In cryptography, information is conveyed after first being encrypted into a different format. By integrating these two methods, the suggested approach strengthens the security system. The encrypted data in this system aims to maintain data integrity, confidentiality, and authentication. It is contained in BMP/JPEG image file. The main objective of this system is achieved by first encrypting data using the RC4 encryption technique and then embedding the encrypted data using LSB steganographic approach in BMP/JPEG image file.
