Hide Text within Image Watermarks by Employing the Least Significant Bit (LSB) Technique for Enhanced Data Security

Abstract

The widespread use and rapid development of the Internet have posed a significant challenge to the security of information transmission. To address this challenge, various techniques such as steganography, cryptography, hashing, and access control have been employed for database security. Among these techniques, watermarking has emerged as a highly accurate method for ensuring data security. Watermarking can be applied to various fields, including images, audio, video, and text, with the primary purpose of securing the data.

In the context of image security, different methods have been developed for image watermarking using the Least Significant Bit (LSB) algorithm. This method is based on two parameters, namely, Standard Deviation and Mean. The image watermarking process can be achieved through two approaches, namely, using text for a secret message or using an image for a secret image. Once the information hiding message has been selected, the LSB algorithm is utilized to embed the information on the high result value of these parameters.

Overall, watermarking is a crucial technique for ensuring data security in various fields, and its effectiveness has been demonstrated through its widespread use
