Abstract—A new image-based steganography technique –
called triple-A algorithm - is proposed in this paper. It uses the same
principle of LSB, where the secret is hidden in the least significant bits of
the pixels, with more randomization in selection of the number of bits used and
the color channels that are used. This randomization is expected to increase
the security of the system and also increase the capacity. This technique can
be applied to RGB images where each pixel is represented by three bytes to
indicate the intensity of red, green, and blue in that pixel.
Key-Words: Steganography, randomization, RGB Bitmap
images, Triple-A Algorithm, Computer Security.
