In this study, a steganographic run is espoused for images with LSB as a building block. Living in the world of advanced technologies where zillions of people get connected online every day, problem of cyber crimes has also become inevitable. Since innumerable digital files are exchanged, importance given to problem solving measures has also up risen. For the security of images sake, steganography has introduced many modus operandi which are implementable both commercially and domestically. Steganography involves the hiding of data such that it is invisible to the naked eye and it also aims at hiding the very existence of the message itself by a cover medium which could be image or audio or video. Depending on the need of the user, any type can be used. Image steganography is very prevalent among these three. The choice of the algorithm is driven by parameters such as veracity, sturdiness, capacity and availability. Modified LSB is used in this algorithm but with a different perspective that give adequate implication to all of the previously mentioned. The algorithm is rationalized by means of MSE and PSNR results.
