Pixel image steganography using EOF method and modular multiplication block cipher algorithm

Abstract

This study aims to hide data or information on pixel image using EOF method and to improve the security of hidden data than combine with cryptography algorithm Modular Multiplication Block Cipher algorithm for the encryption process. The image file used as the test sample consists of 3 types of image types (JPG, BMP, PNG), this file type is the most widely used by users with different width and height as well as various file sizes. The results of this study prove that the data could embed in pixel image using EOF method and the file size of carrier will increase its capacity as byte of embedded text.
