A Lightweight Hybrid Scheme for Hiding Text Messages in Colour Images Using LSB, Lah Transform and Chaotic Techniques by Iman Qays Abduljaleel, Zaid Ameen Abduljabbar, Mustafa A. Al Sibahee, Mudhafar Jalil Jassim Ghrabat, Junchao Ma, Vincent Omollo Nyangaresi

“…In this paper, we present an approach for hiding encrypted text files using LSB colour image steganography by applying a low-complexity XOR operation to the most significant bits in 24-bit colour cover images. It is necessary to perform inverse Lah transformation to recover the image pixels and ensure that invisible data cannot be retrieved in a particular sequence. …”
