Abstract:
Steganography is a modern, yet ancient, method of secret storage and access of communication, in contrast to cryptography, where the â€œenemyâ€ is permitted to detect, intercept and modify messages without being able to violate certain security premises protected by the cryptosystem. Steganography is an art and a science. in our previous research, we showed that we had been able to hid information in every bit of every byte in the cover without condition or restriction, and by extracting the complete hidden message with high complexity proportionate to the length of the cover and the number of position in the color values, and hiding the number of positions in the color values, and hiding the number of the sites in the color values. Our new research shows that the information hidden in the eighth position is not in a position with higher security than the first position because the Steganography I the first or eighth bit (as one it) of the cover has the same values of complexity. Our research also makes clear the integrity of the cover when hidden in Least Significant Bit (LSB) and Most Significant Bit (MSB).
