A Steganography Technique Based on the Huffman Codes and PM1 Technique

Sonal Dwivedi, Mohammad Tabrez Nafis

Abstract


In this age of technology, everyday huge amount of data is transferred across the network. The higher the amount of data transmission the larger the amount of security is needed. In this scenario security of the data stands as the basic need and it needs to be addressed and solved first. In this paper combination of a standard table and Plus minus 1 (PM1) steganography using Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed which would not only allow transmission of a large amount of data but would also eliminate the need of embedding the look-up table along with the image.
