What is it about?
In this study, a novel approach for embedding secret information in digital image is proposed. Rather than organizing information in a known manner, our solution selects random pixels, applies an XOR operation with a randomly generated key. This process makes it very difficult for an attacker to find or erase the hidden message. The algorithm was applied on standard test images and reports proved that the secret data can be embedded with no perceivable distortion in the cover image.

Why is it important?
Todays digital communication is both confidential and secure. Can not be detected by the traditional sitting techniques wine.wikipedia (as will insurgency easier Less SitM We argue/embedding It is easy to watermark than to embed). The proposed scheme, which coordinates with random key generation and XOR-masking, can achieve much better resistance with very limited image quality degrading. The new coding method is a general one and can be used in secure communications, digital watermarks, copyright protection, and information authentication in general.
Perspectives
As researchers, our goal was to create a straightforward yet safer approach that will be useful to cybersecurity practitioners and academics. Our approach balances efficiency, security, and image quality, and we hope it inspires further studies that combine steganography with cryptography for better digital protection.
