Abstract
In today's world, data security has become a major concern. Steganography is one of the essential techniques for secure data communication. It involves concealing hidden secret data or information within another carrier medium. In image steganography, the secret content is embedded within image files. This paper proposes new techniques for image steganography, where secret image data is hidden within a cover image using a marshaling technique over the pixels. This marshaling technique is developed by modifying the RGB components of the image. The security of this technique relies on the spatial arrangement of the color components of the image. We explore the practical implementation of the proposed technique for concealing secret image data and recovering the hidden image without any loss through the decoding process.
