Abstract
Steganography is a technique of hiding information in digital media. In recent years plenty of work has been done in this domain, and the work can be compared on various parameters such as high robustness and large capacity to achieve a goal. This paper proposed the method of steganography in digital media using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The DWT is a frequency-domain technique comprising DWT which comparatively offers better robustness and high PSNR value of stego image over other techniques. The proposed method works well for information hiding against AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise) attack and fulfills the objective to achieve high robustness and high PSNR.
