Image Steganography Technique Using Sudoku Puzzle and Ecc Algorithm for Secured Data Transmission

Nowadays, Data transmission is becoming very important among humans. So there are many modes of data transmission introduced. Some of the modes of data transmission are through copper wires, wireless channels, computer buses, etc. Though there are certain modes of transmission, secured data transmission is an important thing what everyone needs, because everyone wants their data to transmit securely. But secured data transmission is still an important problem everyone is facing nowadays. So to overcome this problem, we have introduced a image Steganography technique using Sudoku puzzle and ECC algorithm for secured data transmission. Image Steganography refers to the process of hiding the data into image, while ECC algorithm helps to convert the original data into secret code. In the proposed method, the image Steganography is done using Sudoku puzzle. So, this method not only hides the data, but it also converts the original data into secret code. Thus, by combining these two techniques the data will be more securely transferred by the method. The proposed mechanism will be developed with the aid of the platform MATLAB.
