Firstly preprocessing of data is done by using data dictionary module and then encryption and compression of data before sending it to receiver using gray level modification (GLM) technique [1]. Matrix and coding technique has been used for encryption of the data. The work in this paper shows an improvement in the embedding capacity of the existing steganography techniques %K Cryptography %K Steganography %K GLM %K DM %U http://ijcta.com/documents/volumes/vol2issue6/ijcta2011020645.pdf
