An Amalgamation of Three Modulus Method and LSB4 Image Encryption Technique for Hiding text in an Image

In this paper, we have proposed a stenographic algorithm that advantageously disguises an instant message inside an image. The hidden message is concealed in the cover image using an amalgamation of a hybrid Least Significant Bit method and Three Modulus characters by character encryption. The entire encryption methodology is secured by a password such that only the designated receiver can decrypt the hidden message from the cover image.
