Abstract

Digital Rights Management is a method of controlling access to copyrighted material. Steganography- the art of hiding secrete messages inside other messages, innocuous wrapper, as until recently had been the poor cousin of cryptography, to communicate privately in an open channel. This area of study got widespread popularity after its alleged use by many extremist groups while hatching and executing their plans remotely. Because of this, in the recent past, many law enforcement and government agencies have also shown keen interest in it. There are many other reasons like Digital Rights Management applications (Watermarking and Finger Printing), which acted as catalyst too. This paper proposes a new steganographic encoding scheme which separates the colour channels of the windows bitmap images and then hides messages Randomly using polynomials in the LSB of any colour component of a chosen pixel. The authors, implemented image steganography based on Least Significant Bit Insertion method using Polynomial. The advantages and disadvantages of this method have also been discussed.
