Abstract—In the aspect of information security, steganolysis has been an important topic since first indicated steganography has been used for communication. Apart from cryptography stegonagraphy is the additional method leadind to better secure of messages which goes hand by hand with cryptography, that’s why revel of such a message not easy. A large number of JPEG steganography methods are available for free usage, which has spawned significant research in the area of JPEG steganolysis. This paper introduces an enhanced JPEG steganography along with a suitable encryption methodology which will play a significant role in the world of symmetric key cryptographic algorithm.

Index Terms—Cryptography, DCT, MODDES, Quantization, Steganography.
