Abstract

In this paper, we propose an algorithm called Optimum Intensity Based Distributed Hiding (OIBDH) for secret data hiding inside cover images. The algorithm is a modified version of Bit Plane Splicing LSB technique with better hidden capacity and improved embedding process. The proposed algorithm outperforms Bit Plane Splicing LSB technique as more data can be hidden without degrading the quality of the cover image. Furthermore, both algorithms are tested using entropy curves and results show that OIBDH has lower absolute entropy difference compared to Bit Plane Splicing LSB technique in all the tested images.
