Steganografi Gambar Menggunakan Metode Least Significant Bit Pada Citra Dengan Operasi XOR
Abstract
One way to secure secret messages from other unauthorized parties is steganography. One of the most widely used methods in steganography is Least Significant Bit. This research uses images as cover images and secret images. The image is resized to a resolution of 512x512 pixels, The cover image uses an RGB channel image and the secret image also uses an RGB channel image. In this research, LSB will be combined with triple XOR so that it can increase the security of this message hiding method. Triple XOR is used to provide extra security to images that have a secret image (Stego Image) inserted. In this research, several tests were also carried out, including testing the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE), for robustness testing it was also carried out by making modifications to the stego image such as resizing, compressing, and adding and reducing contrast. The results of this research's PSNR testing are very good, namely approximately 49 dB and lower MSE. With the PSNR and MSE results, it can be proven that the LSB method has a good level of imperceptibility. In experiments on image resistance to modification, several experimental results show that secret image extraction in the stego image failed to be extracted, and from several experiments such as adding and reducing contrast, image rotation and lossless compression, the image inserted in the stego image was successfully extracted.
