<p>ABSTRAK <br /> <br />Keamanan dalam menyampaikan pesan rahasia merupakan faktor penting dalam penyebaran informasi di dunia maya. Melindungi supaya pesan yang akan dikirimkan sampai kepada pihak yang berhak, perlu dibuat sebuah mekanisme penyembunyian pesan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menyembunyikan pesan berupa teks rahasia ke dalam citra digital true colour 24 bit dalam format RGB. Metode yang digunakan untuk menyisipkan pesan rahasia menggunakan metode LSB (Least Significant Bit) dengan mengganti bit terakhir atau bit ke-8 dalam setiap komponen warna RGB. <br />Pilihan jenis file citra RGB dengan pertimbangan kapasitas pesan yang dapat disisipkan lebih besar dibandingkan jika menggunakan citra grayscale, hal ini dikarenakan dalam 1 pixel dapat disisipkan 3 buah bit pesan. Ujicoba yang dilakukan memberikan hasil bahwa pesan yang disembunyikan ke dalam citra digital tidak mengurangi kualitas citra digital secara signifikan, dan pesan yang telah <br />disembunyikan dapat diekstrak kembali, sehingga pesan yang dikirimkan dapat sampai dengan aman kepada penerima.</p>

<p>With the intrusion of internet into the lives of every household and terabytes of data being transmitted over the internet on daily basis, the protection of content being transmitted over the internet has become an extremely serious concern. Various measures and methods are being researched and devised everyday to ensure content protection of digital media. To address this issue of content protection, this paper proposes an RGB image steganography based on sixteen-pixel differencing with n-bit Least Significant Bit (LSB) substitution. The proposed technique provides higher embedding capacity without sacrificing the imperceptibility of the host data. The image is divided into 4×4 non overlapping blocks and in each block the average difference value is calculated. Based on this value the block is classified to fall into one of four levels such as, lower, lower-middle, higher-middle and higher. If block belongs to lower level then 2-bit LSB substitution is used in it. Similarly, for lower-middle, higher-middle and higher level blocks 3, 4, and 5 bit LSB substitution is used. In our proposed method there is no need of pixel value readjustment for minimizing distortion. The experimental results show that stego-images are imperceptible and have huge hiding capacity.</p>

Abstract Securing the privacy of the medical information through the image steganography process has gained more research interest nowadays to protect the privacy of the patient. In the existing works, least significant bit (LSB) replacement strategy was most popularly used to hide the sensitive contents. Here, every pixel was replaced for achieving higher privacy, but it increased the complexity. This work introduces a novel pixel prediction scheme-based image steganography to overcome the complexity issues prevailing in the existing works. In the proposed pixel prediction scheme, the support vector neural network (SVNN) classifier is utilized for the construction of a prediction map, which identifies the suitable pixels for the embedding process. Then, in the embedding phase, wavelet coefficients are extracted from the medical image based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and embedding strength, and the secret message is embedded into the HL wavelet band. Finally, the secret message is extracted from the medical image on applying the DWT. The experimentation of the proposed pixel prediction scheme is done by utilizing the medical images from the BRATS database. The proposed pixel prediction scheme has achieved high performance with the values of 48.558 dB, 0.50009 and 0.9879 for the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and correlation factor, respectively.
