The purpose of steganography is to hide the message or data and prevent the detection of hidden message or data by
using Steganography. Steganography maintains secrecy between two communicating parties. Steganography is the process of
hiding private or sensitive information within image. The most common use of steganography is to hide one file behind another
file. In this paper we implement the algorithm for hiding the data behind the image. This image is known as “stego image”.
Steganography and cryptography both are similar in the way that they both are used to protect important information or data. The
difference between two is that steganography involves hiding information so it appears that no information is hidden at all.
Encryption is also performed along with Steganography to encrypt the message by using the algorithm.
