Abstract: Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one, apart from the sender and intended recipient, suspects the existence of the message, a form of security through obscurity. It is an emerging area which is used for secured data transmission over any public media. In this study a novel approach of image steganography based on LSB (Least Significant Bit) insertion and RSA encryption technique for the lossless jpeg images has been proposed. In this paper, we present a strategy of attaining maximum embedding capacity in an image in a way that maximum possible neighboring pixels are analyzed for their frequencies, to determine the amount of information to be added in each pixel. The technique provides a seamless insertion of data into the carrier image and reduces the error assessment and artifacts insertion required to a minimal. We justify our approach with the help of an experimental evaluation on a prototypic implementation of the proposed model.
