Today Security of data is of foremost importance in today's world. Security has become one of the most important factor in communication and information technology. For this purpose steganography is used. Steganography is the art of hiding secret or sensitive information into digital media like images so as to have secure communication. In this paper we present and discuss LSB (Least Significant Bit) based image steganography and AES encryption algorithm so as to provide an extra layer of security.
