Applying Steganography Techniques in Images using Least Significant Bit, Discreet Wavelet Transform and Masking and Filtering

Abstract

People are now living in the world full of artistic individuals that create art and admire them for the discipline
regarding the practice of their craftsmanship. On the other hand, there are some who manage and become expert on
stealing the artworks/ crafts of these people. This practice of stealing of such masterpiece can be done by adding
watermarks to the image, but the Adobe Photoshop magic trick can delete in just an instant. Therefore, this study
focused on the different algorithms that can be used in steganography and their implications on the said topic.
Steganography is the science of hiding information. Whereas, the goal of cryptography is to make data unreadable
to other individual, steganography instead hide the data from a third party. This idea of stenography is a great tool
for making the watermark more unique and genuine. The obtained result reflects that the interrelationship between
LSB and DWT has a significant difference, while comparison between DWT with MFT and LSB with MFT has shown
no direct vital connection
