Abstract
This paper presents a new technique of data hiding in spatial domain using digital image as cover file. It uses two logical modules, binary converter and bit extractor in its processing. Binary converter module converts the identified pixel value into binary sequence of eight bits. Bit extractor module extracts the seven bits of pixel value except LSB. The proposed method hides the message in the seven bits of pixel value except LSB as LSB is the most sensitive bit and can be altered on the network by some error. It disburses the message evenly on the pixel intensity. The preliminary results show that it expels various anomalies associated with some state-of-the-art methods. It also provides better imperceptibility and hiding capacity.
