Data hiding using shuffle algorithm and LSB method

With the development of technology, secret communication with audio, image and video files has become important. In this case, encryption and steganography play a major role. While encryption deals with uncatchable of message content, steganography deals with failure to understand the existence of the messages used for secret communication. Because of these features steganography and encryption are the two main elements complementing each other. In this study, it is proposed to use the least significant bit (LSB) change method with a shuffle algorithm to hide data in color images in 24-bit JPEG format.
