Technique of Hiding Information in Image using Least Significant Bit
Information hiding is very important because a lot of data theft occurs which can result in significant losses. Data security can be done by hiding information into a media. This media can be in the form of images or sounds. There are several concealment techniques in the picture. In this study, we will discuss the hiding of information in a 24-bit color image which consits of 3 x 8-bit. The method used is Least Significant Bit (LSB). This method is used to insert messages into the 24-bit color image insertion media on every 1 of the most significant bits of each image color. The layers used are Red, Green, and Blue. This method has a small MSE and does not appear to differ if the image is seen directly with the eye. The results of the research show that MSE calculation is not so much different from the original image. Peak Signal to Noise ratio (PSNR) for each image inserted with the maximum message size can produce an average value above 40 dB. This LSB method is excellent to use to provide information in the form of images.
