When it comes to preventing unauthorised access to, destruction of, or inspection of confidential data, information security has always been a major factor. Multimedia information is now used in every field throughout the world. The confidential information that is used in these areas must be kept secure. There are a variety of methods for keeping data secure. One of these is steganography, which is concealing information within other data into a format that the cover information remains unchanged. Cryptography, an encryption process that scrambles data into a written form that is sometimes referred to as a hash, is an auxiliary approach for securing information. Steganography and cryptography each have their own set of benefits and drawbacks. Even though both technologies give security, it is usually a good practise to combine Cryptographic algorithms to create additional layers of security. When cryptographic with steganography are combined, a multi-layer security paradigm is created. The proposed work's main goal is to add an additional layer of protection by using cryptography and steganography to encrypt and embed secret data conveyed across an insecure channel.
