A New Steganography Technique Based on Difference Scheme of RGB Channels and Text Using Histogram Analysis

Steganography is the art of hiding the fact that communication is taking place, by hiding information in other information. The motivation for this work includes provision of protection of information during transmission without any detection of information. We also propose a new technique namely „A New Steganography Technique Based on Difference Scheme of RGB Channels and Text Using Histogram Analysis‟. The proposed technique can encode any colored image files in order to protect confidential text data from unauthorized access. It can be applied to a very small images (24 × 24) as well as large images (1024 × 1024). We use Image quality parameters Peak Signal to Noise Ratio and Mean Square Error. The proposed method has higher PSNR value and lower MSE values. The PSNR value is greater than 50 and MSE value is in fractions.
