ABSTRACT:

Along with advances in information technology, cybercrime techniques also increased. There
are several forms of attacks on data and information, such as hackers, crackers, Trojans,
etc. The Symantec Intelligence report edition on August 2012 indicated that the attacker
selected the target of attacks. The type of data is valuable and confidential. The Hackers
selected the target to attack or steal interest information the first and they did not just take
random from a large amount of data. This indication worried because hackers stealing the
data more planned. Therefore, today many systems reinforced with various efforts to
maintain data security and overcome these attacks. Necessary methods to secure electronic
messages that do not fall on those who are not authorized. One alternative is
steganography.

Cryptography and Steganography are the two major techniques for secret communication.
Cryptography converts information from its original form (plaintext) into unreadable form
(cipher text); where as in steganography is the art of hiding messages within other data
without changing the data to it attaches, so data before and after the process of hiding
almost look like the same. There are many different techniques are available for
cryptography and steganography. The cryptography suspicion against disguised message is
easily recognizable, because of the message disguised by changing the original message
becomes as if illegible. While further reduce suspicion steganography disguised as a
message hidden in the file. The research designed the application of steganography using
Least Significant Bit (LSB) in which the previous message is encrypted using the Advanced
Encryption Standard algorithm (AES) and it can restore the previously hidden data. The
messages in this form application and hidden text on media digital image so as not to arouse
suspicion. The result of research shown the steganography is expected to hide the secret
message, so the message is not easy to know other people who are not eligible.
