Abstract
The art of hiding information behind the image is a popular concept. In this paper we have introduced a blend of multiple encryption techniques to hide information behind an image. In this paper we have discussed Steganography and encryption techniques that can be combined in several ways to strengthen information security. The effectiveness of the individual encryption techniques is pondered upon. The planned work flow to develop such an application is also discussed.
