Abstract

The main goal of reversible data hiding algorithms is to embed the secret information in cover image and recover it back successfully. So we have implemented two methods. In first method, cover image is encrypted using stream cipher and pseudo randomly generated key and compressed using haar wavelet compression. The encrypted compressed image acts as a media for hiding secret image. And in second method, secret image is encrypted using randomly generated key and it is hidden in cover image. In both the method data hiding is done using LSB based image steganography. At the receiver, reverse process is done to extract secret image and recover cover image. At the end, we conclude that second method gives better security of image compared to method one.
