The proposed system is an approach used to embed text into image. It enables the user to provide the system with both text and cover, and obtain a resulting image that contains the hidden text inside. The system uses the least significant Bit (LSB) method to embed the secret text in image after encrypt the secret text using a proposed method and store the text in image. The proposed system aims to provide improved robustness, security due to multi-level security architecture along with faster embedding and extraction process irrespective of size of embedded text.
