Abstract:
This work presented a leading and more secured least significant bits stegnography
technique having variable information hiding capacity and signal to noise ratio (SNR). Hiding capacity
was enhanced by sacrificing signal to noise ratio (SNR) and vice versa. A give and take was made
between the capacity and SNR depending on the situation it was used in. The presented stegnography
technique offered a very large key size, to extract covered information, in addition to basic purpose of
stegnography. The key size was directly related to cover image size and the number of bits variation
used for information hiding. The key was kept secret and shared with the intended party only.
