Text Data Embedding into Images Using Chaotic Least Significant Bit Encod-ing Steganography

Abstract

Computer networks and the internet are growing rapidly, enabling global communication and exchange of information, including text, images, video and audio. However, this progress has also fueled cybercrime, such as data theft. One solution to protect data is steganography, the art of hiding a message in another medium. With the advancement of digital technology, steganography now utilizes digital image files as hidden message containers. Chaotic LSB (Least Significant Bit) based steganography method is implemented in this steganography application. This technique determines the location of message concealment randomly, increasing the security of sending secret data over the internet without being detected. The LSB method allows hidden messages to be accessed only by those who have a special key. The advantage of this method lies in its ability to keep the message secret from unauthorized parties. Thus, the LSB method becomes an important tool for preventing unauthorized access and ensuring the security of confidential data transmission.
