Abstract
In this ever-changing world of technology, data security is of utmost importance. This research paper focuses on identifying the best combination of cryptography and steganography algorithms for securing data. The proposed approach developed a complete end-to-end system that encrypted text message using the Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm. The encrypted message was then embedded onto images using steganography techniques like Least Significant Bit, Discrete Cosine Transform and Discrete Wavelet Transform. The message was later decrypted and extracted. The performance of the algorithms was evaluated using various metrics. The best performing combination of algorithms for each metric was then identified.
