Adaptive method for image steganography using genetic algorithm

Abstract

Steganography is the art of hiding information in ways that prevent the detection of hidden messages, That a process involves hiding a message in an appropriate carrier e.g., an image, an audio or video file. This research aims to hide a color image in another color image with the same size , depends on substituting the similar blocks of embedding image within the cover blocks by using genetic algorithm for select best match block .This method is robust against the changes and treatments done for the cover image . additional it fast and the stego-images have less distortions. And so , more secure because the positions is send independent from stego- image.
