Abstract
This paper focus on a change in the plain Least Significant Bit based image/picture steganography and implementation of it. The paper asserts the utilization of bit reversal method to enhance the quality of stego-picture. The bit reversal methods that are proposed and implemented based on 2 schemes. In these strategies, least significant bits of a few picture elements of cover picture are rearranged if they happen with a particular pattern of a few bits of the picture elements. Along these lines, less number of picture elements is adjusted in contrast with plain least significant bit strategy. So PSNR of stego-picture is moved forward. In order to obtain correct de-steganography, the bit designs for which least significant bits has modified should be put away inside the stego-picture some place. The proposed bit reversal procedure gives great change to least significant bit steganography. This strategy could be joined along different strategies to enhance effective steganography further.
