Abstract

A new steganography algorithm that supports transmission of huge information with minimal embedding is proposed. This approach uses the Newton’s Forward Difference (NFD) Technique for mapping the text file/s onto a low resolution image file. A polynomial function is derived to represent the mapping of the text bits with the bit positions on the host image file. This polynomial is represented as bits and is embedded in the image file that is transmitted. The bit replacements made in the host image file are negligible compared to those in the existing embedding techniques.
