Abstract

This paper proposes a steganography technique to enhance the capacity and quality of the stego object. The method is proposed for frequency domain grayscale images. It is assumed that hiding varied number of secret bits in the original image blocks depending upon the DCT coefficients remaining after quantizing the blocks might increase the capacity of the stego image. To enhance the quality PSO can be used to find the appropriate DCT coefficients to conceal the secret data. The secret message is to be encrypted using AES before embedding in the original image blocks to ensure security.
