Abstract -
In the present day scenario, security plays a vital role in e-learning system. In an e-learning system, all kinds of transmissions and communications between the participants of any e-learning system are done via Internet. Since, Internet is publicly accessible; authenticity has a major role to play. Steganography is one of such techniques through which authenticity can be achieved in e-learning. In our proposed system, we have applied Least Significant Bit steganography technique on the color images and also discussed about the compression algorithm. For all the individual applications, we calculate the MSE and PSNR values to check the portability of the proposed system.
