EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Steganography algorithm is used to hide data from third party in such a way that people are unable to detect the presence or contents of the hidden message inside the stego image. This algorithm is used to maintain the confidentiality of valuable information, and to protect the data from possible sabotage, theft, or unauthorized viewing as demonstrated in Figure I. Though the hacker,^ can steal the stego image, the valuable information inside the image is not readable. This really promotes secured data from hackers.
