Lossless Data Hiding Using L·SB Method

Abstract

A loS.sless (reversible) data hiding (embedding) method  inside  an image  (translating medium)  - presented   in  the  present  work  using  L_SB (least  significant  bit). technique  which  enables  us to translate   data  using an  image  (host  image),  using  a  secret  key, to  be  undetectable  without losing  any  data  or  without   changing   the  size  and  the  external   scene (visible  properties) of the image, the hid-ing data is then can  be extracted (without  losing)   by reversing  the encoding  process , knowi11g and  using

the  same  secret  key. This  method tested  by using  two  images  a:nd by

u-sing several   embedding bit  rates     the  result  is  that  the  host  image

undlstinguisbable  from  the  st go  images  ,  then  we  used  (PSNR)  and (MSE)  methods to fined the aifference values between the host image and the stego images.
