Abstract
This project investigates the Incorporation of LSB (Least Significant Bit) steganography into images and secret key embedding techniques using Python. The main goal is to find out if it is possible to hide private data, like cryptographic keys, in the least important bits of picture pixels. The project embeds secret keys into image files using the LSB steganography algorithm. In order to encode the sensitive data with the least amount of visual impact possible, this technique manipulates the least important bits of each pixel's RGB channels. The integrity of communication channels is largely dependent on the secure transmission of cryptographic keys, which is a common practice in current security procedure. However, when exchanging keys, vulnerabilities could appear. These keys might not have an extra layer of security in the current system, leaving them vulnerable to interception or unwanted access. By directly embedding cryptographic keys into picture files via LSB steganography, the suggested method presents a revolutionary approach.This technique aims to enhance key transmission security by introducing a low-key layer of security. The project looks into the potential benefits and challenges of this approach. This discovery is significant because it has the potential to improve current security methods by utilising LSB steganography to add an additional layer of secrecy.
