Privacy is a necessity for security, especially in information and communication technology(ICT) interfaces. This is due to the increasing use of technology, which has made it challenging to guarantee data authenticity and credibility when transmitting messages. As a result, secure communication is often in a state of potential jeopardy. This has been a complex problem to solve, and steganography, which involves hiding the identification information in cover media, has been utilized to solve it. The analysis and comparison of the currently existing steganographic techniques presented in this paper consider problems such as robustness, visibility, security, integrity, and data storage. In order to overcome these challenges, the present research work is aimed to develop a new steganographic model that is made more robust, can carry more amount of payload, and is more secure from detection. Our design applied and enhanced cryptographic procedures and randomized salts to make the data more hidden and secure from third parties. In addition, we use ECC blocks with suitable padding to protect data during transmission and exclude data loss. The proposed model offers a lossless solution with high security and, in the context of this work, remains immune to the challenges of network transmission and steganalysis.
