Hiding Secret Data Using Reduced Differences within the Pixels of an Image

Abstract

This research addresses data security through steganography, proposing a novel steganographic approach based on adjacent pixel differentiation within digital cover images. The method optimizes embedding locations by customizing pixel differences to minimize distortion, achieving an average Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of 65.97 decibels (dB).
