This project introduces a new methodology for hiding text data in RGB images. The methodology uses a spiral and snake scanning technique to hide payload in the least significant bit of image pixels. It involves three steps: scanning the image pixels, encrypting the text by modifying the image bit planes, and decrypting the text from the stego-image. The technique was tested on images from 24x24 to 1024x1024 pixels and was found to maintain high image quality as measured by PSNR, MSE and entropy metrics.
