SLSB: Improving the Steganographic Algorithm LSB

Juan Jose Roque

2009

Abstract

This paper presents a novel steganographic algorithm based on the spatial domain: Selected Least Significant Bits (SLSB). It works with the least significant bits of one of the pixel color components in the image and changes them according to the message’s bits to hide. The rest of bits in the pixel color component selected are also changed in order get the nearest color to the original one. This new method has been compared with others that work in the spatial domain and the great difference is the fact that the LSBs bits of every pixel color component are not used to embed the message, just those from pixel color component selected.
