description This work deals with digital image processing using the steganography technique in real life. Various steganography techniques face data authentication, data security, and copyright issues. Due to the fact that the problem of data security is currently very topical, these techniques are often sought after. This is related to the constant development of new algorithms that provide solutions that will safely hide the secret message in the image and at the same time will be resistant to various types of attacks. The motivation for writing this work lies in the technique of representing a secret message using a Quick Response code. Later in this work is comparison between our results and results of approach made by scientific community, which works with data hiding within steganographic principles. The secret message is written in the least significant bit plane of the cover image, which ensures that the modification of the image cannot be detected by the naked eye. The proposed solution is evaluated by mathematical quality assessment parameters Peak signal-to-noise ratio, Mean squared error, Normalized cross-correlation and Structural similarity index.
