Abstract

Steganography is the art of passing information in a manner that the very existence of the message is unknown. The goal of steganography is to avoid drawing suspicion to the transmission of a hidden message. If suspicion is raised, then this goal is defeated. In this paper a novel method for embedding messages in an image with increased capacity is proposed. Discrete Walsh Transform is used to increase the capacity of the cover image without any perceptible change in the stego image.
